Hi Carl,

One reason we don’t need a registry is because the number of items is very small. Right now there are 6 items and we only really want to end up with 8.

We don’t really want to encourage extension of EAT to more formats. That just makes interoperability more difficult. It starts to turn into an n^^2 problem.

The only reason there is an extension point here is because UCCS and UJCS are in a separate document. If they were in the EAT document, I wouldn’t have made the top level format a socket.

There’s also some cost to each registry.
