sure. When you say "....are allocated through the IETF Consensus Process", 
I'm just not sure if you are referring to this from 2434:

     IETF Consensus - New values are assigned through the IETF
          consensus process. Specifically, new assignments are made via
          RFCs approved by the IESG. Typically, the IESG will seek
          input on prospective assignments from appropriate persons
          (e.g., a relevant Working Group if one exists).

It's been a troublesome choice in the past (at the moment, the IESG 
position is, I believe, that at least a Last Call is needed for such an 
assignment, but not necessarily an approved internet-draft, although that 
is preferred).

I'm happy to have PWE3 suggest what it wants to suggest - my worry is 
chiefly that the IETF has a shared understanding of what PWE3 is suggesting.

Wordsmithing is hard.

                           Harald
