  What people don't seem to understand is, we really already USE registries.  
They are just application level registries.  We call them config files.  ;-P  
Imagine if there was something such as:

/etc/registry
/etc/registry/apache
/etc/registry/wu-ftp
etc..etc..

  And all these config files used a simular, if not identical, setup.  They all 
pretty much use a key-->value system already, so unifying on a common syntax to 
use would lead to something a bit more orginized, without loosing the power we 
currently have to telnet in and open it up in vi..
