While it seems likely that .arpa can be preserved exclusively for protocol parameter uses, the control of all other .* has passed to ICANN except maybe contries have something to say about their country codes except maybe that the US Department of Commerce asserts ultimate veto authority over any changes to the root zone... In any case, it is not clear that an I-D/RFC cuts any ice for *.org these days. You could probably use that mechansim to assign iana.arpa but the hardwiring of this protocol parameter mapping to and organization which happens at any particular future time to be IANA is one of the things that I find objectionable.
