Thomas - as a registrar that might be able to register/renew/transfer the 
domain, I only care what the domain would cost for be to perform those actions 
at the current time or a phase in the future.  I'm not concerned with the cost 
in the past as I have already been charged for that cost and I should have 
logging or other form of documentation to prove it.  

Thanks,

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?

Best regards,

Thomas
