Are you sure of this point?

The owner of lilypond.org can provide any subdomain (blog.lilypond.org
www.lilypond.org  foo.lilypond.org etc.) for free in a simple edition
of the zone file. It's the owner of .org that decided to make the
subdomain lilypond.org available for money.
This principle is recursive : whoever owns blog.lilypond.org can
provide an infinity of subdomains ( foo.blog.lilypond.org ) by editing
a single file.
To say it another way the owner of foo.lilypond.org does not have to
talk to the owner of .org but only to the owner of lilypond.org.

For the technical details it's explained here (but it's in french
sorry) by a  french associative internet provider fdn (french data
network) :

Hop it helps.

or representing in any way fdn.
