I think the environment query functions like MACHINE-TYPE ought to be
limited to human-readable information. If programs need to make
decisions based on this information they should use te *FEATURES* list.
All that aside, I certainly agree that a lot of this information needs
to be registered. I volunteered to be the registrar about six months
ago, but that led nowhere. Who really wants to be restricted in what
they can do?
