All,
The following illustrates clearly why Domain Name "tasting"
is a bad idea and bad policy. Yet ICANN has embraced
it. Money talks louder than stability and security evidently.
So again unchecked greed trumps good reasoning:
See:

"The Domain Name System is showing signs of being out of
control. Automated software systems are being used to re-register large
batches of expired domain names. In addition, speculators are using a
loophole in the registration process that lets domains be tested for
their potential profitability as pay-per-click advertising sites during
a
free five-day "tasting" period."
Regards,
