Education and "alerts" at various time in the process are part of what we envision. But the cessation of working-as-usual is probably the only thing that may catch some people's attention. Today, it is quite possible that a domain (or aspects of it) can continue working for many weeks after expiration, up until the moment it is deleted or irrevocably purchased or auctioned.
I agree that the domain should stop working, no name service at all, the moment it expires, since that's the most reliable way to get people's attention. R's, John
