What is to keep an Opposer from filing a challenge with the Registry?  I see
nothing in the draft that bars that possibility, and nothing in law that
would give the Registry immunity to ignore such an Opposition, regardless of
its merits.  Wouldn't the Registries, under the IAHC draft, now be forced to
enter into the merits of the disputes from the earliest days of registration
- a part far earlier than even NSI dares to enter now?
