This isn't quite true. VeriSign doesn't allow a domain to be deleted if it has a nameserver host. Also, the host is not deletable if there are domains using that host. This effectively makes the domain undeletable.
We have a work around (rename the nameserver, delete the domain), but this assumes the domain has been expired (and on hold) for 40 days and truly isn't in use.
