There's a legal argument against it, and it's been discussed
to death here on the list.

(For example, here's the beginning of a LONG thread about
it from Jun of 2000:
http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0006/0359.html )

The long and short of it is that OpenSRS feels that they
don't have the ability to give control of the domain name
to the RSP due to their contractual obligations to ICANN.

Besides, the names that *I've* had charged back were completely
worthless, and I have no particular desire to control them.

You know...I agree with the cost of doing business statement, there are
always costs like bad debt, etc involved, but if you purchase the domain
name (the $10 wholesale cost), and the customer charges back, why put the
domain on hold...why not let the RSP have the domain...after all, its been
paid for?!
