Dear JP:  I just can't let that one go by:-(

The cost of the domain name is the least expensive service in the bundle of 
services required by the registrant -- web hosting, co-location, mail 
service, search engines, web editors, marketing... need I go on???
It is only significant for those few registrants who have thousands of 
domains and one (or just a few web sites).  I don't think Jon Postel had 
that in mind and I don't think ICANN should structure its operations to 
subsidize that kind of registrant.
