IMHO, registrars should not be allowed to create an artificial scarcity to drive up prices on the commodities they control. If a user wants to buy them up in a speculation venture, that is a different situation entirely.
Honestly, I don't see the practical difference. There's no way to avoid having auctions for the good domain names. The only question is who gets to keep the money.
