Information collected by the registrar must be assumed to be untrustworthy, save the functional elements to be published.
Several registrars offer private domain registration as an option, as well. How does this affect the notification model?
By ensuring data published by registry's can be previewed, all registrars would be affected equally.
I generally agree with you that when possible, time for analysis can be useful (though I'm unsure how that helps in this scenario, see above).
When functional information is not valid, such as incorrect name servers or IP addresses, this would not impose an immediate threat. However, basic functional information will trace to the controlling entity. Only by being able to preview this information, would comprehensive preemptive efforts be able to prove fully effective.
But one of the ways registrars compete is on timeliness;
All registrars would be subject to the same delay. The previewing process would be a function of the registry. -Doug
