An alternate view is that one does not need to read further to note that this 
scheme calls for coordination at the top of the naming hierarchy, just like any 
other scheme needs to, in order to be viable.

Whether the coordination is performed by a central authority or a cooperative 
society of participants is entirely irrelevant, to the underlying requirement of 
preventing name conflicts.
