Please point me to the reference in the CCTS spec that states that a BCC
can be tied to (associated with/used in, etc.) one and only one ACC.
Also: if we take a step back and temporarily forget about the CCTS spec,
would this restriction be a good idea?

I'm continually keeping in mind that if there are things in the CCTS
spec that we believe are not able to be represented (or easily
represented) in the registry, we have the ability to say "we have
implemented this concept differently". This will be part of our CCRIM
Technical Note.
