This is not as big of a hole as you describe. Essentially, an registrars
accreditation with ICANN is in serious risk if they abuse this. This has
*serious* financial repercussions, even for the smallest registrar.
No question that having the gaining registrar be liable for the transfer is
a procedural weakness imposed by ICANN.
In _no way_ am I not advocating our putting a process in place to protect
against this - it is very close to the top of the list.
