this wasn't fully clear either from your previous descriptions.  There's 
plenty of address space to be able to do this sort of thing, but 
building a registry on this basis is a design choice which commits to 
ensuring long-term registry inaccuracy due to inability to perform 
garbage collection.

A traditional registry would normally be designed on the basis of 
providing an accurate mapping between resource and resource holder.  If 
that mapping is broken, then one of the core components of the registry 
function is no longer present.  The ietf would want some fairly 
unambiguous and clearly articulated reasons to justify why this was a 
wise long-term approach to finite resource allocation, and whether the 
term "registry" was applicable.
