I disagree about "no protection" -- it adds some protection against inadvertent duplication (because it allows publication of a URI scheme usage), and even against malicious registration (because registration includes sufficient information for the community to react.) In any case, if you don't like the proposed process, what would you propose in its place? This seems to me like the best we can do, given all the requirements. Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
