My understanding is that this registry would be outside of IANA.

I strongly oppose pushing private enterprise information into a 
standards body's registry. They already maintain a perfectly good 
standards-based registry.

If we're considering new work items, please don't forget 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-aitken-ipfix-unobserved-fields-01

It has expired simply because there's nothing new to be said. However, 
the work is desperately needed. Due to the lack of standardisation, 
cisco is already using several of these techniques to indicate 
unavailable and/or unobserved fields.


Thanks,
