But in this case, it is true.  The only reason I didn't post the current
state of the registry here was that I felt it would be unnecessary
clutter.  I will probably have it up on my web site sometime in the next
few weeks, and probably on some other Ada websites as well.  Keeping the
whole process open is necessary if it is to succeed, and I expect that 
for most software, the authors will be the ones to create and maintain 
the registry entries.  The only potential problem is that if the 
software for adding material to a site is posted and used "too soon,"
authors may give up if there are too many changes and the software 
changes too often.  That is what I am trying to avoid.
