	Anyone know what the distribution of company sizes are for those 
registrations?

	I ask because, at least in Belgium/France/Netherlands there are 
two overall types of companies that you can create -- SA/NV and 
sprl/bvba.  Pretty much anyone can create an sprl/bvba company, but 
there are some pretty hard requirements you have to fulfill before 
you can legally incorporate as an SA/NV.  If this distinction was 
made at the registry level (as well as others), this might help break 
things into more manageable chunks.

	This is just one idea, of course.  I'm sure that there are many 
others which might be interesting, if only you'd give people a chance 
to discuss them before shutting them down.
