I'd just like to point out that David's proposal does not entail
discarding the Companion Volume -- merely that the definitions
proposed in that volume, like all others, would originally be
_provisionally_ registered, to be affirmed or rejected after a
reasonable length of time.  That way, we'd avoid painting ourselves
into a corner.
