Yes, we should have a common way of handling SID allocations in RFCs.

draft-ietf-core-sid sounds like a natural way to place this, but what goes into what document is often a question of who has time to write something at a particular point in time.  So let’s discuss this with the authors.

In any case, this probably should stay at the level of a suggestion more than prescribing a normative way of doing things — the conventions we use for this may evolve faster than the rest of the technical content of draft-ietf-core-sid.
