I believe that no clarification is needed.  There's no reason at all
to put restrictions on registrations beyond what IETF consensus is at
the time the registration is requested.  Should IETF consensus be to
accept a registration from an Informational document, that's fine.
Perhaps it's not likely, but that'd be up to the consensus of the
IETF, which is the point here.

The non-normative text you cite describes what prompted us to do this.
The normative text is the description of IETF Review in BCP 26.
