avoiding duplicates in URI registry

Details are in the minutes, which I just sent out.

It was pointed out that a registry that allows duplicates can
still help avoid them, at least if those participating have
any sense.

Please, if you're going to discuss topics mentioned in the minutes,
please start a new subject line.
