Assuring uniqueness in the registry doesn't assure uniqueness in the world, and can result in the registry being out of alignment with the real world in a way that cannot easily be repaired. The optimum situation is one where the registry tracks the real world but also reflects expert opinions about the real world. I think that it might be helpful for there to be an expert opinion review of a registration entry, even if expert opinion review isn't part of "approval" for entry into the resolution.
