Cool. But what if the domain was previously registered using OpenSRS and
then dropped. Does the username live on after the person registering it
no longer owns it. It probably shouldn't but I'm just asking. What I'm
getting at is: Do I need to do any checking to make sure the username is
available or can I assume that in the case of new registrations, I can
pick any username/passwd I want for the person?
