OK, now you've defined the problem (the easy bit), how about you have a go
at defining the solution (i.e. have a go a the hard bit):

* If they build a one page web site, is that enough 'branding or good will'
so its OK for them to sell the name?
* If they build a more detailed web site, maintain it for 3 months, and do
some advertising, is that enough 'branding or good will' so its OK for them
to sell the name?
* How do you distinguish between:

1. Someone who buys a domain name genuinely intending to make serious use of
it, but then for some reason, can't proceed
2. Someone who buys a domain name for the sole reason of re-selling it

If someone can find a simple solution to the problem of determining when
enough use of a domain name is "enough", please say so.

The UDRP is basically used in a different situation - i.e. its used when one
party says "I have superior rights to that name, and I'm NOT going to pay
you for it".  That's a different situation from a domain name being placed
on the open market for anyone to bid for.
