We have received the first couple of registration e-mails, and these
have of course raised the first few areas we need to clarify :-)

The first is on scope. For the avoidance of doubt, the idea is to
register expl3 prefixes, i.e. the 'foo' in

  \foo_my_function:Nn
  \l_foo_my_tl

and *not* anything of the \foo@my@tex@style@macro form (i.e. not to try
to register 'pure' LaTeX2e packages).

Secondly, the register includes an e-mail field: the register is
publicly-viewable and so any e-mail address supplied for inclusion will be.
