These parts of the "rules" are not new, they are in the existing
policies as well.  It provides for a reason why the losing registrar
may deny a transfer, not that they are obligated to do so.

Remember, the UDRP provides that someone filing legal actin may do so
in the jurisdiction of the registrar, so a change of registrars during
a UDRP proceeding would change the entire dynamics of the process.
(By the way, I strongly disagree with that provision of the UDRP).
