Is there a registry willing to add to it's database a schema for "these are future edits to make to the registration?" Would the schema be capped at the expiration of the object? Would the schema's contents be altered automatically upon a renewal, an automatic renewal? How would a registrant(or registrar) get access to this future information? A special IRIS interface?
As I read this, it seems you think this is a big deal. I'm not sure that it is.
Conceptually, this is akin to what my bank already lets me do with "Internet
banking" by posting future transactions (for example, a fund transfer close
to the due date, rather than immediately the statement arrives). They put
the request in a queue, provide me with an interface to display (but not
change) it, and take action when the due date arrives.
How they cope if I close my account, or merge it with another before the due
date, I have no idea. 8-)
If the banks can do it, I sure a clueful registrar could manage ...
