You mean like what I suggested at a presentation at the annual meeting of 
the California Bar association about two months ago?:

  We could create a new 15 USC §1130 that says something like:

    No holder of a US Federally registered trademark shall be placed at 
    risk of losing that mark because that person did not register that
    mark in any or all domain name registries that might be available
    for such registration.
