I agree with Simon (and disagree with Arnold).
For a *registry* it is quite OK to give out a name and delegate it only
if the servers for the zone are OK. This needs some checking which is work.
But I would not advocate the registry to also do consulting.

The ISP should do the consulting.

This may mean that delegations to badly operated servers may be revoked.
Interesting.....
