There is some requirement for exclusivity. If a DID is to be exclusive the method strings must be exclusive. `did:method_a:specific_identifier` and `did:method_b:specific_identifier` should be as exclusive as the respective methods allow. just as `http:` `ftp:` `mailto:` need to not be overloaded with multiple specifications `did:method_a` should have a single specification as to what that method means. The need for a registry is as simple as preventing competition for a method string and providing a link to a specification for how to turn a DID_String into a DID_Document. Now if you wanted a ` did:self-descriptive:self-discoverable:specific_identifier` and then have a weather exclusivity guarantee for that "method" you could put the discoverable methods under it.
