Yes, this is the struggle.  We need real allocations to do the CBOR, and we
can't really expect the RPC to renegerate that, so we need a step where the
authors do that work after IANA allocation, but before publication.
I think that if there isn't an early allocation, that the authors wind up
using experimental values, and then putting SIDTBDXX in the comment.

I don't care how we write it.
