Sure, but registries' customers (who are registrars) historically got grumpy if
they had to keep paying for a domain name for which they couldn't collect their
own customers' payment. I think the secondary market has gradually eroded this
irritation, but I know it was a big one at one time.
So ns1.example.com often gets renamed
to ns1.example.com.lame-delegation.invalid or something like that,
Registrars do that.
I am _extremely confident_ that there was a registry who used to do this
automatically under certain circumstances. I don't know whether it still does.
and hence has full control into renaming them. The users of those host
objects might not even see the host name change in fact.
No, indeed, which created not-insignificant debugging trouble.
I do know of at least one ccTLD going from attributes to hosts indeed but
.DE, while not using EPP but something similar, is still under the model
of hosts as attributes.
I seem to recall that it was DE's model that was trying to be accommodated in
the attribute model.
.BE .EU .AT at least are also using attributes.
Interesting. I still think it's a bad idea :) but I'm glad at least the
feature isn't just sitting idle.
