Wikijunior has only been registered in case all this squabbling ends, and a
static version of the Wikijunior line of Wikibooks can be posted at this
domain.

Had everybody waited around, Wikijunior's recognition as a name would have
increased, and commercial entities would have likely registered it and held
it hostage.

Simply put, your interpretation of it being bypassing standard procedures is
silly. Danny's original proposal to the Beck Foundation stated Wikijunior as
an encyclopedia, whose best articles would be published as "an extensive
series of topical pamphlets". Along the way, it got skewed a bit, away from
a kids Wikipedia that publishes books, into a Wikibooks project. Never has
it intended to be something radically different, inbetween the two.
