Again, good idea, but doesn't belong in the core.  If I register a
domain, it should be live immediately, not after some 5 day waiting

accept any email from me until my domain is 5 days old, go for it.  Your
prerogative.

Well then - all you need is to have some way to convince registrars
take down scammer domains fast.

Some of them do.   Others dont know (several in asia) or are aware and
dont care - theres some in russia, some stateside that mostly kite
domains but dont mind registering a ton of blog and email spammer
domains.

Very true - If this is going to work, it's goign to have to be on a global 
scale, Not just one country of registrars can be made to correct the problem 
as people who maliciously register domains will just do what the spyware 
companies do, go to a country that doesn't care and do business there.
