  If all TLV allocations go through IANA, then the registration procedure should prevent conflict.

  If the IANA registration procedure is well documented, then that procedure should prevent conflict.

  I don't see a big difference between allowing TLVs to be of data type "integer", "ipv4 address", "sub-TLVs are OK", or "contents to be defined by sub-TLV registry FOO".

  There is simply no way to have any kind of conflict in the allocation.

  I'm not sure IANA would have an opinion here.
