Manu, would it be feasible to consider a two-step process for the registry?

   1. Establish a consensus for inclusion of only legally compliant methods
   in the registry.
   2. Align the current registry to reflect this new consensus.

This approach may alleviate concerns that some groups in the W3C are
indifferent to legal, specifically securities, laws. As a respected entity,
it's essential that the W3C adheres to all laws, showcasing its commitment
to uphold legal standards.
