Before somebody else jumps on me for not having said it clearly --

Any registry that does not regard ss and ß as orthographic equivalents
can deliberately treat them separately in all regards. The registry
would, however, likely still need to provide the holder of an ss-name
with privileged access to the ß-name, in case the nameholder does
regard them as equivalent.
