In my opinion every object that is officially registered is a LegalEntity, Organizations as wel as Persons. In REGORG, which evolved from the first version of the Core Business Vocabulary, "RegisteredOrganization" is chosen as a label. This is a much better choice because 1) it makes clear that we are dealing with an Organization, not with a Person or any other LegalEntity and 2) it makes clear that it is an official Organization that derives this status from the fact that is was officially registered.

Or, as an alternative, LegalOrganization would be a good name.
