DISCUSS:

The IANA considerations section does not seem to stand alone without
reading RFC 5204. As you are obsoleting RFC 5204, readers shouldn't be
expected to read it in order to discover original IANA instructions.
I think you should copy information from RFC 5204.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Section 6:

   This section is to be interpreted according to the Guidelines for
   Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs [RFC5226].

This sentence is not needed, because RFC 5204 didn't define any
registries, so none of the text from RFC 5226 applies. I suggest you
delete this sentence.
