octopus -- how to tell an infoton is registered

[Fred T. Hamster]

how to know infotons registered

1. classifiers have no way of ensuring that your stuff becomes the authoritative owner of the prefix.
2. how do we ensure that people don't take over processing of a certain type of infoton by registering a new tentacle?
3. how do people find out what's already been named?
4. maybe we should define a user space area where anyone can extend it? but then how do they tell those apart?
5. actually, a tentacle registry would be very useful.
6. put it on feistymeow.org: list all known classifiers and the infotons and tentacles that are associated with them.
