The point of having a registry is presumably to avoid conflicts, isn't it? You can only do that if someone's tracking all the registrations somewhere. Which means the registration template needs to be filled out and *submitted* somewhere. The registry is apparently here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-well-known-tokens/ (which is helpfully not linked from the RFC). As for where to submit new entries, I have no clue. Maybe Lachlan knows. ~fantasai
