	You have an opinion, but I'm unable to detect a basis for that
	opinion.

	Allocations of string-space do not give rise to control over any
	resource other than (conditionally) the string.

	Publication of association(s) between strings and addresses, as
	well as the formation of an association subject to a publication
	policy, involves zero or more parties other than a "registrant",
	and there are several orders of magnitude fewer entities other
	than "registrants" that participate in address association and
	association publication.

  It wouldn't hurt you to read our spec, if only for the nomenclature.
  If you read some EU data directives, so much the better.

  You may want to look at the whois policies of the RIRs and some of the
  ccTLD operators.
