Either I'm misunderstanding the mechanics of the renewal process, or we're
all in big trouble.
Another devious scenario:
Client registers domain name with RSP A.
RSP A carefully controls access to his renewal scripts, but...
Client goes to RSP B and sets auto-renew on, without telling RSP A.
Renewal time comes, domain gets automatically renewed.
Who pays the bill? Remember, no refunds on renewals!
