significantly increases complexity of transfers. not every domain rusn a
web site and your proposal would require every domain to have an A
record and answer on port 80 to specific http requests.

I would ( and i expect many others in the IETF ) would not recomend
such.

things like "proposed use" lead to enforcement; we don't want to
encourage any type of content enforcement.

do you have an ideas on inter-registrar data transfer as transfers require?
