As a research inquery, are the response times of these two systems capable
of making one interact (negatively, in case anyone is wondering) with the
other? Is it possible to construct a covert channel between these two
distinct communications realms?
...
I think there is always a 'way' to perform such interactions, and a methodology
to establish a covert channel. The question would be where and whether that
channel or other communication would be susceptible to other disruptions (that
is unless the channel was 'out of band' with other communications).
Would the question be significantly altered if the registries provisioned
was defined by decimal values, rather than character sequences, ignoring the
syntax rules for each data type?
I am not sure I follow that question. I don't think a character or decimal
representation would present an issue in the case of an registries system
independent evaluation of the date set (which is what I think you are
proposing). Is that what you mean?
