IANA's not so brutal, but apparently pretty busy.

My urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 comes via a (free) IANA registry, not a
commercial provider.  Pouring resources into IANA might solve a lot of
problems that can't be fixed by waving hands and proclaiming URIs the
answer.

Simon St.Laurent - SSL is my TLA
http://simonstl.com may be my URI
http://monasticxml.org may be my ascetic URI
urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether
