Speaking of that, the provisional registration process is currently
First Come First Served (anyone can register anything).  Shouldn't it
at least be Expert Review so that there's an opportunity for someone
clueful to catch "big picture" issues about consistency of new schemes
with the rest of the world?  The RFC resulting from this draft
would then be the guidance that the expert reviewer would be expected
to follow (and in turn establish a minimum expectation for quality
of what can be registered).
