Speculators register domain names for the primary intent of reselling
them later for a profit.  Consumers don't have resale as a primary
intent.  As you know, the law is quite capable of using intent as a
meaningful distinguishing characteristic.  In general, you are making a 
"slippery slope" argument, and, again, as you know, slippery slope 
arguments are not valid.
