Perhaps we must define a "standard protocol between registries".

The protocol only could need three functions:

1.- Test if a domain is already registered in another registry or not
(its free).
2.- Register a new domain with the "registry number" (perhaps public key).
3.- Download all the RRs of one registry from another, to build zone files.

I think this can be well done with http queries and XML answers...
Perhaps with some kind of public/private keys, or ssl certificates to
ciphering...
