But you have to give that information to the registrar, don't you?  And 
if you do, some registrars may make you perform it in a separate step, 
while others might let you do it in conjunction with registering the 
domain.

There's no necessary correlation between the registry's database 
organization and the processes you have to go through with the registrar 
(unless a particular registry only allows a selected registrar).
