The great advantage of hierarchical namespaces is that they are
hierarchies. So if the text doesn't reflect the fact that IANA
is only *required* to be the registrar for the top level of each
hierarchy, that is a bug (but one that any computer scientist
will autocorrect, as I certainly did when reading the draft).
