Totally off-topic, but:
I recommend gandi.net if you want to register a domain.
Speaking as a satisfied customer... and they use debian, and employ a
debian developer :-)
Seriously, Andrew, I recommend registering it. It's 12 Euro per year...
They'll also do web forwarding (toplevel) / email forwarding (a single
address).

I've installed wwwoffle at a number of offices (on their does-it-all
linux server/internet gateway), where not everyone's allowed to surf the
'net. So maybe the percentage should be a bit higher.

An ideal situation would be a simple configuration option whether you
want a distinct administrator.

It does (I use it on my cable modem). Sometimes even useful, when the
line goes out (like today, grmbl)   And I probably will when I get
ADSL (soon, I hope),
