    I don't think it is possible: "being parked" cannot be defined in an
    algorithmic way. My own domain sources.org does not even have a Web
    site (and I swear it is not parked).

    Let's try:

    * Bayesian filtering on the content of the Web page, after suitable
      training?

    * Number of different pages on the site (if n == 1 then the domain is
      parked)?

    * (Based on the analysis of many sites, not just one) Content of the
      page "almost" identical to the content of many other pages? (Caveat:
      the Apache default installation page...)
