On the other hand, if people want to standardize some mechanism for a
policy you find regrettable, I find it hard to believe that the right
answer is "prevent that standard" rather than "don't subject yourself
to that policy".  The latter is easily achieved by refusing to do
business with registries that implement a policy you don't like.  The
approach that seems to be being pursued here is to try to prevent
standardization of the mechanism because of a disagreement about the
policy.  I think that is generally bad for interoperability.

Best regards,
