Ok, that solves the uniqueness.
A related question:
Let's say that this record is stored in whois server at the RIR "A"
when you get your first IP-addresses. Now, you go to registrar "B" of
TLD-registry "C" and register a domain, should you not be able to
have your handle at "A" as pointer to the technical contact for your
domain? I rather see that than having one person object for you at A,
and one at C (or even, one at A, one at B and one at D which might be
a different registry -- paralell with B -- of C).
