James, 

I understand your concern with option #1, but I think option #3 goes into a 
different set of issues where we mix the domain sales pipeline with domain 
management activities, for which domain:info is commonly used. 
I'm neutral between option #1 and option #2, but while both work me, I would 
really like to know which option has more chance of being implemented by 
registrars; and if they favor either #1 or #2, I would favor that as well.
