I have to strongly disagree. Surely a "reject by default" policy is bad,
no matter how they're doing it technically.
Anyway, unless the message I got is wrong, DomainDiscover *is* actually
doing something to reject them:
-----
Requesting Registrar: Tucows, Inc..
Current Registrar: TierraNet, Inc..
Dear Tiger Technologies:
The current registrar for the XXXX.com domain name rejected the transfer
request you submitted.
Pursuant to established Verisign Registry procedures, the transfer is
declined.
Please contact the current registrar listed above for a further
explanation of the rejection.

NSI could make the same defense: "all the user has to do is take a
certain action and it goes through properly."
I thought that OpenSRS's official position is that any system whereby the
user has to take extra action at the losing registrar to approve a
transfer is Bad.
