This thread is to keep the adoption comments separate from work on the draft.

During adoption, it was pointed out the registry names could use some clarification, along with their location.  The two things raised were:
1. Should this be a sub-registry of something like bgp-parameters?
2. The names should be clear such that they sort in IANA's main registry list: https://www.iana.org/protocols

My recommendation would be that the registry should stay top level.  I also agree with the points raised above about names that sort better.

The following pull request attempts to address 2.
https://github.com/ietf-wg-idr/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-fsm-iana/pull/6 <https://github.com/ietf-wg-idr/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-fsm-iana/pull/6>

For those not using github, an rfcdiff is attached.

Note that the redundant abbreviation is placed as "BGP-4" to try to future proof us vs. bgp-5, or similar.

If you have an opinion on this topic, please respond in-thread or in github.
