I wonder what credentials are required for that operation.  Perhaps more to
"release" a component code than to request one because a prankster coule
wreak more mischief by freeing a code in use than by gratuitously having
one assigned.

Interesting.  Some decades ago, I sat in on a meeting in which one ISV who had 
an
assigned code offered to share part of his name space with another who hadn't 
one.
ISV #2 should have been able simply to request his own.  Perhaps neither ISV 
understood
the process, or the process hadn't been well defined at that early date, or 
there may have
been a business relationship or lack of one that precluded ISV #2's obtaining 
one.
I believe IBM was then a customer of ISV #1 but not of ISV #2.
