See the aforementioned "restock fees" presented to ICANN. How much of a
disincentive would they be?

Not much, I would think.

Unless you have a more explicit pointer, a quick check at ICANN
reveals that the "restock fee" proposed in November 2000 applies
to PIR and the .ORG TLD.

And even if it applied to all (non-ccTLD) domains across the board,
it probably wouldn't stop the abuse that we are seeing with bulk
registrations, tasting, abuse, etc.
