Re: Legacy Info Package Registration

Now that you mention it, allowing multiple definitions for the same C-T 
probably does make sense, though we hope there aren't any such cases.
This is only for legacy, so we won't be making the problem worse that way.

The advantage of a registry is that there isn't a deadline for when 
things are added to it. If another legacy usage is discovered in a few 
years, it can be added to a registry. But if we just put the list in a 
document, then it only contains those we find before the doc is finalized.

	Thanks,
