And?
.com has this problem too
So does .tj and .cc and .nu at times
A registry/registar should not have to police their domains, that isn't
their purpose in life. You are advocating taking away a countried ccTLD
because they are using it at as a gTLD.
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1591.txt:
In cases when there are persistent problems with the proper
operation of a domain, the delegation may be revoked, and possibly
delegated to another designated manager.
But that paragraph is located with describing how the TLD should
technically be operated.
