There was a fair amount of disagreement about that last clause. A few 
of us (at least Leslie Daigle and I) thought that allowing duplicates 
but documenting the registrants of each would cause less problems for 
the registry, and still allow legit developers to pick a good new 
name, than trying to come up with a single-entry system.
