The registry can assert that this is its policy via the <dcp>.

Where the value is in having the registrar attempt to bind such a policy
to a data item (I'm partial to mumbles and globs), rather than having a
policy bound to the mumble or glob by the registry is possibly an article
of religious faith.

I've written why the converse is true, possibly in moments of religious
euphoria.
