Accepting the premise that this sort of thing is a good idea, it still seems
to me those numbers aren't very useful because they do not factor in the
number of names handed out by each registrar.

If registrar A has given out one million names with only 1,000 of them
having been advertised in spam, that's only 0.1% of their customers.

On the other hand, if registrar B has only given out 20,000 names and a mere
200 of them have been advertised in spam, that's 1% of their customers.

To me, this would mean that registrar A is ten times more "spam hostile"
then registrar B.  Yet the way the numbers would be presented by the above
URL, it would only say that A had 1,000 while B had 200, yielding the
opposite conclusion and, IMO, incorrect conclusion on who is more "spam
hostile."
