I looked at that table, and the change needed seemed to be a little too 
much butchery.

I contemplated using the description column (which happens to contain 
suitable strings). Seemed a bit hackish. Opportunistic reuse.

Adding a third column means there's two references for each line, which 
seemed wrong, and also I thought it might be impossible to alter the 
format of an existing IANA registry.

So... I thought it would be cleanest to use a separate registry, and 
made a note to make it easy for the IANA (see yesterday's message) by 
sending the rfc-editor two files: The RFC in nroff format and 
additionally a text file containing the complete registry.
