They are not cataloged anywhere.  I think that you are interpretting
this draft to be more than an example of how one might use Large
Communities, that it is standardizing the Local Data fields, which is
not the case.  These values are defined by and have significance to
the ASN/Global Admin in the first field of the Large Comm.
