For example, if someone manages to pick up apple.com when it drops, with the intention of selling it to an apple farm, that would be ok, wouldn't it?"

1. Yep, thats what i said (Registration of TMed domain name with intent of selling is considered unlegal by the UDRP) - no matter you want to sell it to the TM owner or someone else.

2. Selling generic names like "apple" (regardless the TM) can be considered as a permitted domain speculation, but not if you registered it "only" to divert potential customers away from TM owner...
