I observe that the document is not putting any names in the registry 
it is creating.  Are there names that should be in the registry?  If 
so, name them here.  If not, why are creating an empty registry at 
this time?

And I'll offer a broad "me too" to Joe Abley's comments re: the 
specifics of the registry.
