When one works independently of a thing, implements entirely different 
policies from it, and depends upon gaining support by replacing the direct 
users of that thing, then one is seeking to replace that thing.

It does not matter what language the alternate-root operators use; it 
matters how they act.

If one does not acknowledge the authority of a thing -- actually it was 
more strong than "not acknowledging", since those operators typically 
claimed that IANA had no authority -- and one seeks to take on that 
authority for oneself, then one is seeking to replace that thing.
