Push the name market ("for sale" spec?)

When someone tries to register a name but it is already taken it would be nice if the GUI (nameGUI) would inform whether it might be up for sale and how to contact the seller.
It could simply display the value of the name (with imports) but maybe we should specify how to mark a name as "for sale" and how to format contact info (maybe as in id/).

Another idea: when opening a .bit site that does not resolve nmcontrol could locally create a website on the fly displaying the value.

Creating a local website would probably break a lot of software that is expecting an NXDOMAIN response. However, it probably wouldn't be hard for a Firefox extension to display this data somewhere. I'm open to the idea of adding it to my extension, if people think it's a good idea.

yeah, I think it would be interesting to integrate atomic name trading into nameGUI

As an alternative one could also open the info website in a new window.
