I ask you: What would you suggest? It's quite hard to craft technical solutions to policy failures.
Since the registrar business has degenerated into a race to the bottom, I don't see anything better than setting a floor that is the minimal allowable bottom. Since ICANN has neither the inclination nor the competence to do that, and they have no control over ccTLDs anyway, that means (egad!) regulation. Yeah, I know the Internet is all over the world, but as a participant in the London Action Plan, an informal talking shop of the bits of governments that deal with online crime, spam, etc., I can report that pretty much all of the countries that matter realize there's a problem, and a lot of them have passed or will pass laws whether we like it or not. So it behooves us to engage them and help them pass better rather than worse laws.
