I would add that the registration fee covers a number of IETF expenses that are fixed and independent of the number of people-days at a meeting. So, independent of Donald's concern, even if one were to use a formula similar to the one you suggest it would be more like (1/5 * day-cost-part-of-fee) + fixed-expense-part-of-free or at least a much larger fraction of the latter. john
