Well, in this case it's both. A very regular thing at our company.

Basically I am talking about user B coming to our site, and clicking on
"Transfer domain" :-) Then he provides authentication for his profile,
gets his contact data on the next page, and then submits a transfer
order (note: the process looks _very_much_ like that of a new registration).

Nope. The issue is not during the transfer authorization phase, but
before - right when the transfer order is submitted.

No :-)
But... well, I think that wouldn't make a difference.

Okay :-) Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I hope I could explain it above.
