The main push of all this activity ISTM is to make $server_owners 
responsible for the users they allow to use their servers and the security 
of said servers being of a quality as to prevent unauthorised use of same.

There was a time when any bank could open an account for anyone walking 
through the door with a bag of money - which could include all sorts of 
$unsavouries. That is no longer the case, as banks now have to *know* their 
customer and be $absolutely_sure that they are not opening an account for 
$unsavouries.

I suspect most/a lot of people's wish would be for ISPs/registrars to have 
to do the same with all their signups.......
