/// Normal applications that only handle standard DNS protocols won't have to

/// related protocol parameters for its convenience.  This class is designed to
/// allow such usage without modifying the library source code or rebuilding
/// the library.
///
/// It is assumed that at most one instance of this class can exist so that
/// the application uses the consistent set of registered parameters.  To ensure
/// this, this class is designed and implemented as a "singleton class": the

/// object is not thread safe.

/// be acceptable in practice.

/// get access to the registry fully concurrently without any restriction.

/// Note: the implementation of this class is incomplete: we should at least
/// add RDATA related parameters.  This will be done in a near future version,
/// at which point some of method signatures will be changed.
