One of the reasons for allowing inactive domains was to reduce the 
number of lame delegations. No benefit is gained from just establishing 
name servers (e.g. by third parties) until the domain is registered and 
then not supporting DNS any longer. The number of lame delegations in 
the *.com domain is considered to be very large. And this poses an 
unnecessary burden on the DNS.
