The complete text says:

"The lid attribute MAY be specified by the submitter when
creating the original version of a RegistryObject. If the submitter
assigns the lid attribute, she must
guarantee that it is a globally unique URN."

The text applies to specifying lid when submitting the "original version
of a RegistryObject". In this case it MUST be globally unique.

Perhaps a clarity could be:


"The lid attribute MAY be specified by the submitter when
creating the original version of a RegistryObject. If the submitter
assigns the lid attribute *when submitting the original version of a
RegistryObject*, she must guarantee that it is a globally unique URN."
