so far we are sending multiple objective values:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-anima-constrained-join-proxy-14.html#name-grasp-discovery
and
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher-21.html#name-grasp-discovery

    [O_IPv6_LOCATOR,
     h'fda379a6f6ee00000200000064000001', IPPROTO_TCP, 8443],

    [O_IPv6_LOCATOR,
     h'fda379a6f6ee00000200000064000001', IPPROTO_UDP, 5684],
    ["AN_join_registrar", 4, 255, "BRSKI_RJP"],
    [O_IPv6_LOCATOR,
    h'fda379a6f6ee00000200000064000001', IPPROTO_UDP, 5685]]]

I have resisted suggestions that we put an array for the objective-value, and
also that it have a string that needs to be parsed like "mode=prm,foo=1,bar=2"...
This is because I think that the protocol and port numbers, and maybe even
the IP addresses will be different.
(IP addresses could change not because different machines, but because in
IPv6, why not, and it also makes use of containers easier)

I regret we didn't write "BRSKI_EST" on the first one.
I am asking now if we should have a registry for this.
It could be RFC Required, as at this point, everything is in WG documents.
Since we are doing this in std track documents (so they get the ultimate
considerations, of IESG action, in effect), the value of the registry is that
it lets people find the document that goes with the value.

If we do want a registry, it needs to go into one of the two above documents,
I think.   I don't want to drag this on longer than it needs to be, because
these documents have taken too long already.
