But you can't avoid collisions with multiple namespaces. This is
exactly why Internet needs IANA - to avoid collisions in TLD names,
used ip addresses, protocol parameters, etc.
What you're doing with separate namespace is as if you took some part
of the currently unused IP space and setup your own BGP peering network
for those using that space with your own registry, but also accepted
routes from Intenet peers on the same router mixing it all up.
