If that protocol is really not CoAP, it can be legitimately discovered,
but should IMO be indicated with a different protocol than coap, say
<brski://registrar-ip:port/registrar-resource>;rt=brski-yyy

However, just to get a better understanding, why is the protocol through
which the CoAP messages are forwarded between the join-proxy and the
registrar neither CoAP nor a new CoAP transport? (Just sounds like it'd
be working around the very shortcomics of CoAP proxies that RFC8974
resolved). Is this protocol described anywhere so far?
