Dear submitter (bcc iana@iana.org):

The "UNKNOWN" value data type registration is /approved with minor changes/:

OLD:
    Purpose:  To allow preserving unknown property values during round-
       tripping between jCal and iCalendar.

NEW:
    Purpose:  To allow preserving property values whose default value
       type is not known during round-tripping between jCal and iCalendar.

Thanks,
Bernard (designated iCalendar expert)
