I could have been clearer. The names can be duplicates, not the rest of

also calls it web.alt, and we another entry in the registry.
What does the registry do or prevent? Is it meant to be a Yellow Pages of
non-IETF naming ? If so, why should we run it? If it accomplishes
something else, what ?
If people want to avoid collisions, it gives them an idea of what's already
in use somewhere. Of if you run into ITU.ALT, you can (give or take link
rot) find out what it is supposed to do.
Okay, so I understood that you want to run a yellow pages for non-DNS
domains at IANA. I do not think that is within the purvey of the IETF.
