I don't see any discussion of the RFC Editor retaining null IANA 
sections in RFC2434bis, which is good. It is a completely silly idea. 
An RFC should contain useful, long-lasting information. The fact that 
a particular document didn't require IANA action is not useful unless 
it is surprising, and if it is surprising, the section should not be 
null.
