By "designed right" I hope that you are taking into account that the
registrars shouldn't receive the data about who is performing the queries.

I would like to point out one example where that an accredited registrar
(since de-accredited) was providing enough tokenized data in their
output to identify the source of the requests.  While it may seem
inconceivable, the registrar (ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey.com) was
a dedicated criminal enterprise, and its owners where involved in gun
smuggling, drug trafficking, and murder.
