One thing the SASL registry has is the "Usage" You mean: Intended usage: (One of COMMON, LIMITED USE, or OBSOLETE) ?

I'm not convinced this is needed; after all, we haven't had a registry up until now. SASL has a different registration requirements for single names and family of names; when you register a family of names you essentially delegate a part of the space of names to another spec -- do we really want that?
