Then we'd have to require that someone be a registered implementor in order
to register marc format types.  I don't know if we want to require that.  I
suppose you could make a case for that since we limit private oid
registration to registered implementors.  But I think these are different.
These are not private formats, they just don't fit the rigid pattern that we
established and can't be slotted easily into the oid structure.
