I'm willing to help push through such a document in the IETF but would like some help. Hello Larry, The request related to your original comment, which pointed out that the Encoding spec could not unilaterally obsolete an IANA registry and the thread developed to suggest that the statement needed better scoping. We have proposed a solution to those issues. I see the divergence of this thread into a discussion about whether obsoletion of the IANA registry should now be proposed as a separate issue. RI
