I think the main concern with your counter-proposal is that
it might encourage people to "stake out" the "good names"
in the registry, because uniqueness is offered with no review.
Instead, we're trying to make permanent registration easy
enough that the failure you're concerned about ("2 years
for review") doesn't happen.

It should be possible to register a unique scheme name
at the beginning of the "innovation cycle" by filling out
a form, and a short review. Unless there are egregious problems,
the registration would happen whether or not the reviewers
actually liked the content of the registration.
