I expect IETF would be the change controller of record for the specifications.

We could just document existing practice for now if that is an easier
path. I'll note that there are at least two W3C WGs that would like to
normatively reference these specifications, and I'm uncertain if the
"document existing practice" path allows for that to happen. What are
the benefits of just documenting an existing practice for now?

I expect an IANA registry would need to be created as the set of
values will be expanded over time.
