Actually, many naming and addressing management experts consider that the existence of a root defines a unique namespace.

Also, the issue of authority for a namespace is a distinct and separate issue from affection for that authority.

No William, we are talking about multiple roots, NOT

There are people who have a great disagreement about how ICANN
is going about its business. There is a large piece of the world that doesn't
want ICANN to be the authority.

No public RSN that cares about its credibility will create collisions.
