Validator.nu doesn't support the wiki registries, because during the entire
existence of the registries, a shadow of doubt has hung over the registries. It
hasn't been clear if it is worthwhile to implement support for a particular
registry mechanism if the registry is going to be shot down or delegated to the
IANA by the HTML WG in due course.

This bug report is part of the problem. Not it seems that the reasoning is
circular, so perhaps I should just go ahead and implement support for the
registries to break the cycle.
