I received the following from Jon Postel.  Posted with his permission.

The USDNS organization is esentially a broker for domain names in the
US (and maybe other) domains.
...
In the world there are many such services, we all make tradeoffs every
day between doing something ourselves vs using a service to do it for
us.  We all trade money vs time and/or knowledge and/or skill.
...
The US Domain Administration does not make any recommendations positive
or negative about such services.


Great.  Just wanted to be clear on this official policy.  We can still
register ourselves without paying any service, anywhere in the US domain.

And any "service", fee or no fee, can update the _same_ subdomains.
There is no subdomain "ownership".

Also, there was another posting saying that IANA had made a limitation
last year for each "service" only serving 50 US sub-domains.

I didn't see any such announcement.  Could you update the US domain RFC
accordingly?
