Dhruv: I misunderstood then! You were suggesting that the subobjects shared
by PCEP and RSVP-TE still remain in the old registry and subobjects only
used in PCEP go into a brand new registry! Hmmm.... But ERO could have
subobjects from both registries and that would make it weird. That is why I
thought we were suggesting a fresh new PCEP registry for all subobjects
used in PCEP.

I kinda still feel its overkill :)

Thanks!
Dhruv
