This WG only specifies requirements for the protocol,
so we should not focus on what registrars are/aren't
permitted to do.
Any registrar issues are for ICANN, not IETF. IETF only
specifies protocols and confines itself to technical issues.
ICANN handles any policy issues.

in words, according to some orthography. Thus ..."
