While writing documents that subclass the base PRECIS classes, I've
found myself naming the subclasses (e.g., rfc6122bis talks about the
localpart subclass of the NameClass and the resourcepart subclass of
the FreeClass). Is this something we want to encourage? If so, does it
make sense to gather those names when people register new uses of
PRECIS as requested in the framework document?
