I think this would be extremely unfair to legitimate domain registrants who are truly interested in a name (and willing to pay the registration fee) due to the random (and extreme) number of registrations that these domain speculators are registering. You are essentially putting a domain name that has never been paid for for two years, because some speculator registered it. This would give the speculators even more reason to extract the value of the name from someone who may want it - "If you don't pay me, its gone for two years....."
