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..
