Developers will say to heck with that, and just pick a name and use it, like they've been doing all along. If we want people to use .alt we need to make the friction as low as possible. If there are a lot of technically lame .alt hacks in the registry with overlapping names, so be it. Remember that we are not the Protocol Police, and neither is anyone else.
