Hi Murray,

That sounds what I assumed too, but what is not fully accurately documented in the text.

Maybe something in the style of below is more accurate?
“
The lowa_type value must correspond to an existing entry in the IANA 'pNFS Layout Types Registry' and does not require a new registration.
”

Maybe i got confused and misunderstood the text, or maybe the needs to describe
the intent more accurate for NFS unware people as myself?

244        The lowa_type is defined to be a value from the IANA registry for
245        'pNFS Layout Types Registry'.

I think what they mean is: The "lowa_type" value is expected to be a value that was previously added to this registry, not that it's making a new registration.
