True.  And as the UDRP can already make decisions in one direction it would
be reasonable for compensation to be granted not only in cases of reverse
hi-jacking attempts but also frivolous claims.

It seems a reasonable proposal to me.  I would like it stipulated that any
such compensation or penalty should go directly to the domain name holder
and not into the UDRP coffers.
