I don't think that the issue is about the rights of people to advertise or register names for the purpose of resale.  Rather the issue is about correctly filling in the fields required for the administration of the dns.  IMHO js is right when he says - > I would think this is a clear violation of the agreements because this

Assuming you don't register a name that infringes on someone else's right to the name (trademark issues and all that..."cybersquatting"), people are allowed to register names that they think are worth something to somebody else.  They have a right to advertise the fact that the name is for sale (check out any auction site or domain broker site, you will find tens of thousands of names for sale).  Using the nameservers associated with the domain name to advertise the name as being available for purchase is just another means, albeit creative, for selling the name.  IMHO, any organized discussion about this would be a complete waste of time.

I would tend to think this facilitates and promotes cybersquatting.  No?

Creative, but probably something we need to address in the COC.
