I don't think, a TLD should handle direct user request. Does DE-NIC ? Anyway the have a application form ready to download for anybody who asks. And believe me, it is the standard answer, I've heard it ten times at least.
The customer handling should be done by the ISP the customer is connected to. And I think this is the current modus operandi anyway.
Downloading assumes connectivity. You obviously have never been doing NIC work. We get requests from law firms and other totally non-connected companies to "reserve" a domain name before their competitor gets it. So downloading doesn't always work.
1994 (before everyone else realized it was necessary) we set the fee at $50 - one-time and have stuck to it so far without a problem.
Does this cover your costs ?
We believe so - with no profit.
