[registrars] Using IANA IDs

Hello,

maybe we should use an id like IANA-nn for (de-)accredited registrars and
a prefix LOCAL-<registry>-nn for non-IANA registrars.
I do not think that the LOCAL tags should be much of a problem as they will
not appear frequently in everyday life. The whole purpose of this approach
is simplification for the end user, and that is reached when you have a 
solution for 99% of all cases.

Yours,
Marcus
