Robert,
IMHO we should just fix IANA Considerations section of 4271 by
issuing a
new version of it rather then having pointer in the IANA
registry of
OPEN msg optional parameters to one paragraph spec redirecting to
incomplete RFC 4271.
We had a similar situation before, where BGP Communities (rfc1997)
defined Communities without specifying registry for such
communities.
This was addressed *not* by issuing a new version of rfc1997, but
by a message from Routing AD (Dave Ward) to the IDR mailing list
that proposed the text for the registry. After discussion on the
mailing list and at the IDR WG meeting we reached a consensus on
this text, and subsequently IANA established such registry.
Yakov.
Cheers,
R.
