As Eric_Lyon has mentioned, I know many countries have started to take a closer look at what qualifies as actual currency since the introduction of bitcoins. So I can definitely understand where he is coming from in the legal standpoint. I don't see however why it cannot be treated as an item separate from legitimate currency either though. For example the realm of trade and barter. Farmers use to trade eggs for milk and things of that nature. So why couldn't someone trade x amount of NP for a domain registration and such. As long as it is not treated like a currency, then there shouldn't be any harm in my opinion. It only becomes a problem when you begin to recognize it as an actual form of currency and use it like currency such as giving loans and charging interest and utilizing a bank. That is where it resembles legal currency to much. So some modifications will definitely have to be made in that sense I am sure. And even if the legalities of it are figured out, I am sure it might warrant a poll being created to see how many people will actually want to participate in that type of a program again. I doubt NamePros will want to pay their developers to re-implement something that may not get the usage they were anticipating. But needless to say, I do feel the subject matter does warrant getting the ball rolling on in some fashioned since I know people use to love using it. Especially since I was one of the people offering domain registration services through RegisterBird with NP$ through a special domainers section of our site.
