The spammers are already creating throw-away domains ...

yup. i've been watching today's crop-o-spam. its pretty consistent, within
48 hours of a buy the domain shows up in a body of a spam, and the buy is
for just one year. my business customers almost always throw 10 year buys
at me.
my intra-registrar proposal is that we make these point at someplace novel,
and make domain name persistency shorter than a year on the value-flow side
of spam models.

the only people who benefit from the current pricing model are registrars.
if domains cost $300 a year we'd have less than 1% of the number we have now,
but the ones we have would actually get used. i have never received mail
from a domain ending in .biz that was not spam, for example.
