What we have to decide for the purposes of this paper is how 
often/likely the scenario occurs when the authorities want to block such 
a domain. If it is no longer happening, raising the possibility only 
confuses the paper. Perhaps they are using other techniques as well, 
such as fast flux.

Of course, it's possible that there are numerous small/medium/large 
enterprises (be they of criminal intent or otherwise) with multiply- 
redundant NS; even if members of the public almost never have the 
benefit for their personal websites.

>And I thought this paper was about domains more than domain registries?

Yes, which is why the paper should positively avoid the inclusion of 
confusing examples such as domains operated by I* entities.
