Karl,
  From your view, but not from the view of the millions of corporations.  In
your system registrars can create their own little monopolies of TLD domain
ownership and after they get a few large corporations that have spent hundreds 
of thousands or perhaps millions of dollars building on that domain name the 
registrar can start turning the screws.  

"For the big guys, who have a lot invested in their domain name the new
registration fee is....  $10,000 per year.  You don't like.  Go elsewhere.
There is competition (according to Karl), but NO YOU CANT take your domain
name.  Sorry."      THIS IS A MONOPOLY!

For the consumer the core proposal IS competition.  If the registrar that I'm 
working with in the .blat domain isn't doing a good job or charging too much 
because they are inefficient then I can switch to a new registrar and WOW, I 
get to keep my domain name.  THAT IS COMPETITION and not a monopoly.
