This is by design, in that it allows the creation of fixed currencies that can ONLY be transferred via Auction (i.e. you get this currency, but to make it useful you have to participate in auctions, thus encouraging auctions to have participants). Since no rules actually permit anyone to start an auction right now, and explicit rules permission is needed to start a particular type of auction, that's where it would be controlled (e.g. don't vote for a proposal that would allow a specific auction of something you want to stay fixed). -G.
