Why are you reluctant to do that?
Well, there are some very good reasons.
1. My DNS registrar also happens to be a dynamic DNS provider. Many people like using DNS registrars that are dynamic DNS providers.
This is potentially very useful e.g. for creating subdomains using BitNami/Wordpress.org WordPress in a SOHO environment which doesn't have access to a static IP address! In this scanario WordPress.com might be used for the website/blog and BitNami/WordPress.org WordPress might also be used for an internal intranet but using plugins with different functionality and purpose, for example. In other words it is about flexibility.
2. Creating tiers by separating DNS records, email hosting, and web hosting in the way I have done for watkin.info makes sense and also provides greater flexibility and freedom. The only real worry I might have is if WordPress.com renamed the web server to something else, but then it would be pretty obvious very quickly if there was a problem.
3. I have already prepaid 3 years for my DNS registrar's services and because they have specialise in DNS they have useful benefits which many web hosters offering name server delegation simply don't provide such as the web redirect feature, 11 points of presence (http://www.noip.com/company/2012/04/11/11-points-of-presence-across-the-globe-giveaway-results/) etc etc. Also, I am in Australia so this sort of thing is important.
Could you please advise the name of the webserver that would be used for delights2life.wordpress.com?
Regards.
