Sub domains in their current state aren't very useful. The main domain owner needs to be able to choose to gift in a way that provides a right to regain it again. Though permanent gifting has its use. Temporary gifting is much more useful, if you wish to create an enterprise of sub domain renting out of your top domain that's completely seperate from any pre -build mechanisms.

Also sub domains need to have the forwarding option to another website. As I see it this is the likely most useful feature for them.
