No - the "reply-to" for these messages would be set by the RSP.

It means that they would have to change it for each name if they wanted to
change it.

Right - There is only so far we can go in protecting the registrant, yet
empowering the RSP. I feel the current spec gets the balance right. It
would take a pretty patient and savvy RSP to nab a name by exploiting this
process. Not to mention the fact that as soon as the registrant contacted
us, we would see that the RSP turned off notification, and well...
