Why? The rules need not be able to withstand being  reduced to near illogic 
to function adequately. The simple goal of  the registration system is to 
foster disabmbiguation, and the  reader's contribution to the process is to not go 
out of his way  to confuse himself.

Why not? These two names don't look alike, and they don't  sound alike.
