It seems like a pretty useful feature one of the big boys could offer to differentiate themselves. Or I could see a new entrant in the domain seller space marketing this as a main feature.

But it only works if it has significant compliance. If a new entrant offers the service, there's little reason for other places to implement it, because only a tiny percentage of their customers will be using it. And the big boys have a disincentive because they already offer things like email and web hosting. Making it easy for people to buy those services elsewhere will cut in to their revenue.

Wow, I'm still reading the spec but on the surface this appears to be almost exactly what I've been looking for for over a year[0] and somehow unable to find. I really appreciate you taking the time. And yeah I hear what you're saying about ideas haha. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23761788

My problem with this spec is it requires Service Providers and DNS Providers to know about each other. It's essentially formalising the status quo of cookie cutter setups for big name providers.
