In many TLDs, the registry is legally prohibited from dealing directly with the registrants except in extreme circumstances. Specifying that a particular DS record is associated with a particular domain is on the same level as specifying that a particular NS record is associated with a particular domain.

I was trying to re-state the earlier point that you responded to (and which I agree with) that the term "registrar" was being overloaded.

Very happy to take my confusion off-line, as ever!
