Actually, under 3.7.7.2, a domain name could be terminated on day 1 if the information provided in the whois is not accurate. Of course, unless the registrar wants to take the domain name, it is almost impossible to get them to enforce that provision.

The two issues that I have is when a registrar ignores the requirement to have accurate information, and two the registrar's profit from the resale of the terminated domains (ie. wait listing, etc) or charging significant amounts of money 'redeem' the domain name.
Maybe a short list of rules for registrants could help, with the registrars being obliged to present these rules during the registration process and to send them by mail / e-mail after the registration.
I can think of some few and simple items, starting like "if you want to enjoy your domain name for more than just a year, please consider taking care of your contact information. Here is how you keep it updated: ..."
Then make it mandatory for the registrars to provide an online service where their customers can easily check and update their contact information.
