Nominet dont't want anyone going direct, but it was deemed necessary to
allow people to do so, while making it so expensive to make it clear
they weren't trying to compete with the membership. No one should have
domains on a Nominet tag, it's expensive and slow to get anything
changed. Requesting changes is done by fax or letter and if there is any
doubt about the registrant it'll be even more trouble.
