I think that a) we should proceed with creating an IANA registry and
allocation policies for the GSS namespaces, b) ignore the problem in
this space for now with confidence that such implementation-specific
namespace uses will be noted and maybe grandfathered, c) the interface
stability assigned to interfaces using such unregistered names should
indicate instability to prospective users.
