If grandma-jones orders custom stationery and doesn't
manage to spell her name correctly, she'll end up with
misspelled stationery. The main difference is that
a misspelled domain name is likely to be a much cheaper
mistake than misspelled stationery.
I picked on example, there have been plenty of examples in the past of
folks just barely able to come up with 7$/yr for domain registration and
using donated hosting for their non-profit thing. I think the root isue
is: there is consumer protection today in the purchase system, do we want
to remove that in the future. Or do we want to find another method to
crack down on this problem without hurting consumers?
