So is that a good idea, having multiple drafts in flight with fields
expecting to have magic couplings to each other while leaving e'thing
"unspecified" to "publish RFCs" while we "decide things later"?

Forthcoming today as I said ... For all practical purposes having a _single
value_ in a field that can accommodate more in the future can mandate a
registry and we already have 0 BTW. And it looks we will/may have more so I
can't follow the apparent logic here that we don't need a registry because
"we don't have values today" but so we publish an RFC without registry
which implies we don't need a registry later in case we have values?

I leave it to the judgement of IESG and AD then whether they progress
things to RFCs (intended for standards track) with undefined fields for
which the "interpretations" will come later. The issue was here 6 months
ago and was muscled, the issue is obviously now on an open consensus
building list. It will not magically go away. I still see a registry as a
long-time proven way to anchor multiple ideas coming into a technology
safely and fail to understand how we have things that will be "aligned" but
are not "depending to each other" while "documentations" are not
"registries" from the continuation of your email, Greg ...  And I lived
through enough codepoint squatting wars and WG charters stepping onto each
others feet to not having the desire to have one more on my hands, hence I
welcome the thread ...
