Agreed
 
I do not see separate mileage in separate vendor trees. They only work
to me if we can grandfather some package off another package.

        The nightmare is the proliferation of X-mumble (e-mail),
P-mumble (SIP), g.mumble, etc., especially when the experiment becomes
standard. 
        
        
        I'd much rather have a registration that looks like:
        
        
        Package Name     Contact                            Reference
        keypress         SIP Work Group <[email protected]>      RFCYYYY
        coolpackage      Proprietary Co <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   none
        
        
        (where RFCYYYY is some standards track RFC)
        
        
        
        
        
        
        And then, someday we get
        
        
        
        coolpackage      Proprietary Co <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   RFCZZZZ
        
        
        (where RFCZZZZ is some Informational RFC or link to a stable
document)
        
        
        
        
        The multiple tree way gives us X-coolpackage at best and
com.example.coolpackage at worst, which might make foobar.com not want
to advertise example.com.  Plus the package name give us a hint to what
it does...

                        We can also have two trees, one Specification
Required and one Private. This has been proven to be an interoperability
and marketing nightmare, but I will put it out there for completeness.
                        

                
                Can you say more? Why would it be more of a nightmare
than FCFS?
                
                

                        I would offer we go with First Come First
Served.  We can have a field for a reference, giving us the best of the
specification required (you can look up what a published specification
is) and Private (if you are creating a private Info Package, you do not
have to specify anything other than the package name).
                        

                        Please Vote:
                        

                        [ ] First Come First Served with pointer to
optional specification
                        

                        [ ] First Come First Served
                        

                        [ ] Specification Required
                        

                        [ ] Expert Review
                        

                        [X] Two trees: Specification Required and
Private
                        

                
                IMO this is better than FCFS with pointer because it
gives a higher degree of legitimacy to those with specifications, which
provides an incentive to get that.
                
                But I will make FCFS w/opt spec my 2nd choice.
                
                Thanks,
                Paul
