These are all good objections against my specific example.
So, who should make judgments about new registry services?
Verisign, in particular, is in a situation in which it can use registry services to leverage its government-granted monopoly into other markets; in the sitefinder case, it's also creating collateral damage on the technical and stability fronts.
I guess it's clear that decisions on introducing new registry services should better not be left to dominant registries, in particular in the current market situation.

Well, a distinction between "dominant" and "non-dominant" providers is a staple of regulatory method, so that's a place to begin. Many regulations have been imposed on ALL registries simply because it seemed to make sense to apply it to Verisign.
