AND change the entire concept of the internet.  I can understand
why a few big commercial providers might want to claim (and eventually
gain) control of their customers' actions but it just 'feels' wrong.

The postal mail equivalent would be that you couldn't use your
own return address when you drop postcards in a public box while
on vacation.

Shouldn't someone be pursuing a more individual approach for
identification?   I'm all for accountability, but not at the
domain name level.  That's like making anyone who builds a road
responsible for everyone that ever drives on it.
