Well, we'll see about that. I have in my mind right now a domain name.
Before I thought it up, it did not exist.  Some space on some registry
existed, true enough, but that space was not filled up with some ghost-
like image of the domain name I'm thinking of.  ICANN is saying that
as soon as I tell one of the registrars what that name is, and tell them
I want to park it there, then the ownership of that domain name 
transmogrifies over to ICANN?  Horse puckey.
