I believe that the organizational name, address, and a business phone is 
pretty much mandated.

Corporate registration requires these things.

Again, if you want to accept connections without using a "directory service"
then you can always use IP numbers -- DNS isn't necessary.

The abstraction layer is what creates the value -- and what generates the
need to be able to track the "owner" of the name.
