Yes, I raised this when the second of the two registries you cited were 
created, but my concerns were apparently not universally-held as important.

I would prefer the pragmatic option 5:

5. Leave both registries as-is, publish Mark's document as-is, and work on a 
separate registry clean-up draft later, since I am guessing that work will not 
be uncontentious and the guidance provided by the draft at hand is sufficiently 
useful not to stall.
