These are fair points and hopefully the language can be tweaked to make
it a little clearer. (RFC 2860 does define the relationship between IETF
and IANA, but the role of .INT was modified as a consequence of RFC
3172)

Most of the names in the draft were in the zone when we started the
inventory process a couple of years ago. For those that were lame
for over a year we removed them from the zone because they were
already functionally inoperable. For the remaining two that are in
there, there doesn't appear to be any sign that they are currently
configured to operate as documented. Specifically, {1..9}.tpc.int and
{0..9,a..f}.nsap.int all return NXDOMAIN.

Even if we are perhaps duly empowered to make such an operational
decision regarding these delegations, producing this draft and gaining
additional consensus on these actions I think will produce a better
result given the original delegations eminated from IETF work.
