My first impulse upon reading this was to suggest it be changed to a  
designated expert procedure (which IMO is good policy, as it allows a  
sanity check on registrations without raising the bar too high).  
However, AFAICT there aren't as many risks in registering a new  
upgrade token as there would be for a new header (for example), and  
the considerable effort required to deploy a new upgrade token  
successfully suggests that the registry won't be inundated.

So, I'm not fussed either way.

My reading of the text is that the term "token" was an unfortunate  
choice, and the intent was to register both.
