Arguably "bootp-dhcp-parameters" is related, maybe TFTP assignments
could be merged into this existing registry.

The authors of RFCs 2347..2349 apparently decided that it was not
necessary to create TFTP registries in 1998.  Only a wild guess,
"missing" IANA considerations cannot say why they are "missing".
Did you look into old mailing list archives?

If it is a general IANA registry problem let's discuss it on the
"happy IANA" list.  The service-names-port-numbers.xml is *huge*,
but the TFTP ports, four SUBNTBCST_TFTP variants, tftp-mcast,
etftp, and tftps are listed.  But this registry doesn't tell me
what ETFTP, TFTPS, etc. really was or is.
