JFC - We've been here before... My reference (to a single consistent registry
for each space) is with respect to the specific community of users who happen 
to find value in the identifier coordination provided by the "default" registries 
administered by the IANA at behest of the IETF.  Clearly, other communities
can use whatever coordination mechanisms and values they choose (with obvious
interoperability implications for communications between communities...)

I expect most of the readers of this list are interested in the coordination
resulting from these singular IANA registries, as opposed to the frameworks 
for multiple instances of registries with self-organizing communities (but I
easily could be mistaken.)

Thanks!
