Yes. This.
-1.
To put this another way: the proponents of the currently active non-DNS
naming systems are creating these systems with an active desire to avoid
a centralized form of control over the name space they're creating. And
by having a registry, it would re-insert some level of control that
they're explicitly fighting against.
it's a registry of carve-outs for use inside DNS, which happens to
facilitate client development by giving agents such as browser plugins a
clear activation signal that's unambiguous with respect to the DNS.
it's not a fight, and the internet standards community should facilitate
such carve-outs whenever possible.
