Re: [IPFIX] IANA IPFIX registry

Brian,

There's currently no way to know what was added to the registry when,
which I think will be important in future for the reasons below.

So I'd like to see something added ASAP.

It could be as simple as recording the date and a list of fields added, 
modified or removed.

BTW, I do plan on reviewing the IE doctors draft.
