I’m curious what registries’ abuse departments would say about that when, technically, they’re contractually bound to publish whatever a registrar gives them.

I think it would be reasonable for the registry to insist the registrar 
act, but there may not be power to force it within the current contract, 
or motivation to make it happen in a future contract. I'd hate to see a 
situation where ICANN and their ilk become arbitrator of what is 
permissible on the internet, and if they become active in an abuse 
handling role, that could be problematic.

In today's system, one might also file a complaint against the validity 
of the information in the WHOIS, since this seems to have higher odds of 
getting a registrar to disable a domain than an actual abuse complaint.
