This is only going to be a problem if OpenSRS relies on other
registries to error check client submissions, which I'm sure they
don't.

The point about eliminating #2, the other registries, is that we
*want* OpenSRS to fake up a response, having error-checked the
submission to their satisfaction. This is the only way that they can
provide repeatable test cases for their API.
