Creating a completely new registry, yes.  But since the template in
RFC 5395 explicitly asks whether a new sub-registry to DNS Parameters,
surely such a sub-registry can be created as part of the creation of
the RRTYPE, no?  Otherwise, that ought to be called out as one of the
reasons not to approve the RRTYPE, no?

Best,
