Re: [core] [Anima] documenting SID usage in IETF specification

Hi all,

The numbering of the SIDs in our case should be as stable as possible
after publication as RFC.
A permanent assignment of the numbers, like the content-format numbers,
would be very much appreciated.
Using the same already allocated numbers for other RFCs would be quite
disastrous.

Maintenance of (part of) the comi.space by a organisation like IANA
could be a possibility.
