A Content Indexing service could classify anything within the content
including above.

Registration of fine grained objects as ExtrinsicObjects is an
inefficient solution. I have been thinking to propose a work item for V3
to allow submitters to define a sub-class of RegistryObject and then
submit instances of that sub-class using SubmitObjectsRequest. The
difference is that the objects would be RegistryObjects and *NOT*
ExtrinsicObjects. This provides another dimesnion of extensibility in
RIM in addition to Slots. SLots provide extensible attribute on an
object, while User Defined Registry Objects would provide class
extensibility. More on this later.

Not a problem.
