Shrug.  I don't see it as necessary.  If we forget that ID.AU
exists, then what happens at the 3LD level is really not of
interest.

Sure.  Just ignore it.  The question is "what rules regulate
the aquisition of domains in biz.au".  If you want to suggest
the policy for this domain include "biz.au domains may not be
resold" (expand), then suggest away, but I don't think it would
fly.

Only if you are hoping for law suits.  Implying that there is
no guarantee that other DNA's may not be around probably isn't
that good an idea :-)
