Domain hoarding (the playing field is NOT level ... insiders
can get domains that 'just us folks' cannot). I have seen
circumstances where I research a domain for a client -- never
taken -- not obvious -- and the client delays a week deciding
-- Whatdoyouknow -- a domain hoarder has taken it --
-- it is pretty clear that some of the web based domain
availability tools 'report to their masters' what is being
requested (I can see a method using web logs which is trivial
to implement).

Also the 'purge process' at NS need not be efficient, so long
as the 'lock process' works, from NS' point of view.
