I guess you haven't heard.  TUCOWS has a retail division called Domain
Direct that competes with all of the other retail registrars.  Domain Direct
already provides all of these features.  TUCOWS also has a wholesale domain
registration division called OpenSRS which purpose is to provide wholesale
domain registration to ISPs webhosts and other service providers who ADD
VALUE to the registrations.  At least this is what them claimed when many of
us signed up back in 1999.

exactly.  OpenSRS was to be a wholesale domain registration service.  These
"value added" services were supposed to be provided by the RSP.
