 I think it is sleazy to make money from involuntary expirations.

It feels like finding and keeping lost property. To use a system of 
"finding" is o.k., but if the owner of lost property shows up at your 
whois, you don't charge him $1000 to get it back.
This is the  common sleaze that registrants complain  about.

Re-registration within 45 days should  require explicit approval from the 
last registrant.
Just a small  safeguard to strengthen registrant rights and make Domain 
Names that much more valuable.
