Dear Paul: I may be misunderstand "kiting".

I think that if an individual (or a registrar) registers and domain and cancels it in less than 5 days, and then registers it again with the same or a different registrar, it may be kiting.  

If said registrant deletes it again and re registers it again, it probably *is* kiting.

An individual may be able to kite if he uses registrars which provide said registrant with a feature that permits him/her to make deletions.  The registrars being used in this cycle may be oblivious of the actions of the registrant.
