Volker,
The URS sounds interesting and I'll admit I have not studied it in dept yet.
I have attached a screenshot from eNom's site which not only lists bulk
options by dynamically suggests domains with related keywords and trademarks
of competitors.
I have also attached a screenshot from Moniker's site which adds the keyword
"100mg" to proposed domains indicating they know what the customer is
looking for.
Not saying this is all Registrars, I did not find the same issue at
Key-Systems.
