The latter I can buy, but the former - well - aren't there lots of 
examples of property transfer dating all kinds of years ago; lot X goes to 
person Y in year Z then is bought/sold/split up and there's all kinds of 
information about that. Maybe the concept of "domain name as property" 
hasn't really hit yet. 

Well, all I know is this person is going to be really, really sad when she 
finds out she doesn't own "her" domain name any longer...
