As you are the signing author of this draft, why isn't it split into two
separate drafts:
* this file without section 3 (that makes most of its content but is
intended to be deleted upon publication)
* section 3 as a draft for the updated registry itself?
After all, its section 4 (security) has been split as well into a separate
draft (but is also containing the draft for the procedure for the
maintenance of the registry, referenced in section 5 about IANA
consideration).
May be a draft document for this update is not the correct way to publish
this information, given that it does not follow the procedure for
maintenance of the registry, and does not differenctiate the elements that
are part of the current standard and not updated here, from those that are
added, modified or deleted.
This means that this section 3 is just describing the status of the registry
that would be perceived after the draft update has been updated, meaning
that it should better be automatically generated from the current database
and a set of diffs for each proposed update, each diff being in the format
of the procedure referenced in section 5. I see this section as a simulation
and not even informative (or just there for illustration purpose, but then
why do we need this to be "tentatively" complete?)
