When Palm opened up the platform for 3rd party programming, they created 
a registration page for the database type id's.  This allowed for global 
registration which would eliminate namespace collissions so long as 
programmers registered the id's they were using prior to distro.

Don't know how effective it was, but thot it was a good idea.

How crazy would it be if PHP had namespaces and a namespace registration.
