I can't believe that IANA would recycle the same ID's for a new Registrar. Surely, they would simply issue a brand new idea, and the old Registrar would keep theirs forever. This would solve the problem of a Registrar being de-accredited. The ID would remain the same. You might want to include an additional status, or message along with it, but we should work towards standardizing the Registrar ID's, and ensuring they never get recycled.

The set of code points "current" at any point in time at the IANA registry doesn't account for registry-transitional "registrars", nor can it account for registrars no longer "current" (ICANN accredited) -- rather like the .su country code. I suspect we need something more. Eric
