Unfortunately, sometimes real life goes where engineers would rather not go. In one of our TLDs, we'll soon face a situation where exactly this happens - some "legacy" premium domain names will retain a higher price - also for future (auto-)renewals and transfers - compared to newly created premium names (this approach was not my choice, but couldn't be helped). Deleting and recreating such a domain would save the registrar money, however this would cause the name to go on hold for at least 30 days during the RGP. I hope we can agree that in such a situation, the *only* useful fee information (e.g. about the cost for a transfer of an affected domain) is the *actual* fee attached to the existing domain object, and not the *theoretical* (lower) fee that would be charged if the same name was recreated in the system that was reconfigured since the domain was created, no?
