In addition to this point, what is the practical purpose of this renewal? What is the purpose of prolonging the period during which a domain affected by URS is showing a "URS suspended" page? Specially if the subordinate host objects were removed or otherwise rendered inoperable.

If the URS complainant effectively has rights to the domain in dispute, why not simply give her complete control of the domain in dispute? At that point the complainant can do as she pleases with the domain through regular channels, including dealing with subordinate objects.
