I agree as well. It's also justifiable in terms of paying a registrar for
domain and reverse DNS. I have no problem paying $10 a year or whatever to godaddy
for a dot com registration,<br>
so I have no opposition to paying to an in-addr.arpa registrar, who could
provide whois and registrar services at a competitive rate. <br>
Just as dot com registration was once free and was converted to pay as you go,
so can in-addr.arpa for legacy registrants. Perhaps this can side-step some of
the opposition to legacy changes.<br>
<br>
Most of this could leverage existing registrar, domain registration and whois
infrastructure. So legacy holders can pay their way for the registration
infrastructure, while any questions of "ownership" or legitimacy can
be sorted out separately, or they can simply whither on the vine with IPv6
approaching.<br>
