With objective criteria, very little. Data escrow and posting a bond as
William suggested would seem to answers the "stability" issue that is
pointed to continuously as the reason heavy-handed regulation is
necessary.

And you can bet that there would be businesses created to serve that
particular market. When there is a need/desire, in a free market people
are motivated to provide solutions.

Absolutely. Why is it the job of ICANN, you, or me to decide which one is
linguistically superior and should be allowed to go into business. Let
consumers decide. They are the ones that ultimately pay for it all.
