Which I think leads to a useful principle. We can "safely" leave to
registries any action, the failure to do which will impact only that
registry or its customers. They have full permission to shoot themselves
in the foot. We should embed in the protocol any safety measure or
restriction which, if not followed, allows a registry to shoot other
registries or their customers in the foot.
