How about: <t>New relation types MUST correspond to a formal publication by a recognized standards body. In the case of registration for the IETF itself, the registration proposal MUST be published as an Standards-track RFC.</t> Note that unlike media types, this does NOT require IESG approval for relation types from outside the IETF; rather, just a 'formal publication', which AIUI corresponds to the REC track in the W3C (but not Notes), OASIS standard, etc. Feedback appreciated.
