Hello, maybe we should use an id like IANA-nn for (de-)accredited registrars and a prefix LOCAL-<registry>-nn for non-IANA registrars. I do not think that the LOCAL tags should be much of a problem as they will not appear frequently in everyday life. The whole purpose of this approach is simplification for the end user, and that is reached when you have a solution for 99% of all cases. Yours, Marcus
Rob,
I agree that it seems that the IANA allocations are one-time, however, there are non-allocations that show up in registries (see Jay's note), and when an IANA code point is "de-allocated", how is the name of the defunct (or at least not currently "in status", dues, policy or whatnot) recovered?
Who were registrars #4-7, what is #8, who was #10-12, 17-30, et seq.?
