You seem to be implying that a website is the only use for a domain name.
 Would it not be perfectly legitimate to register a domain name under the
close and substantial rule and to simply use the domain name for email,
on the basis that it is being used to sell the relevant service, even if
in reality, it wasn't?  How could auDA police that?  By demanding copies
of invoices and sales receipts?
