I don't think it is possible: "being parked" cannot be defined in an
algorithmic way. My own domain sources.org does not even have a Web
site (and I swear it is not parked).
Let's try:
* Bayesian filtering on the content of the Web page, after suitable
training?
* Number of different pages on the site (if n == 1 then the domain is
parked)?
* (Based on the analysis of many sites, not just one) Content of the
page "almost" identical to the content of many other pages? (Caveat:
the Apache default installation page...)
