Sorry, I wasn't clear.

This is not a placeholder for the value in the registry.  The process
still needs to happen to secure the allocation.

It is just a placeholder in the figure.  For this case, the allocation
pattern is clear starting with FB 7, so it is a pretty good guess that
IANA will allocate the next value.  Also, where it makes sense, IANA
is open to recommendations.
