But that check doesn't work for delegations that span mutiple registries. If gratisdns.dk disappears there's nothing nic.at can do about the now-lame nameserver attributes on dotat.at.
No, definitely not. You cannot depend on the registry to enforce this if you use "external" nameservers.
And there were earlier discussions in this thread about how registrars can force delegations to go lame so that they can cancel a deadbeat customer's domain.
Of course, but if a host object is renamed there is at least a mechanism by which you can be informed of it: the poll queue ought to send messages about such a thing. (I worked with someone who also broke this on purpose because, well, he was too lazy to do it the right way, IMO; but the mechanism at least exists.)
(Yeah, I'm kind of grumpy about EPP host objects. I can't just write an API client that says, make my domain's delegation look like this. The combination of inter-object dependencies and asynchronous updates makes for a ridiculously complicated state machine that has to poll waiting for changes to take effect. Yuck.)
It's for sure impefect. I think an awful lot of its misfeatures are really the effect of the RRR model and its implementation in ICANN-land ca. 2000, but I know others disagree with me about that.
