Governments offer a range of quite different "registration" processes.  In
the US, at the very low end is "Doing Business As" which permits use of a
name and has some procedures for reducing collisions, but does not
guarantee uniqueness.  Such registration carries no endorsement by the
government at all, other than for use of the name.  Although there are
significant differences between this function and that done through a DNS
registration, one might find enough similarity to make things interesting.

At the higher end is "incorporation" in which a virtual "body" is created,
with considerable legal rights for that body.  A DNS registration bares no
relationship at all to this process.
