My suggestion is that you write up an I-D, and push it.

My quick read looks like this is a useful thing, and it would be nice to have. Just as Andrey pushed an ECC draft and there have been others, it'd be a great way to go.

As DKG noted, we have a constant collision, but that's not a big deal. That's why we have IANA.
