> I don't think we can do this until Section 2.2 of RFC 2026 has been fairly comprehensively rewritten.

Or  an update RFC is published that nullifies it.   It's already outdated:

   An Internet-Draft that is published as an RFC, or that has remained
   unchanged in the Internet-Drafts directory for more than six months
   without being recommended by the IESG for publication as an RFC, is
   simply removed from the Internet-Drafts directory.

In the spirit of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, further quoting from 2026:

      *   Under no circumstances should an Internet-Draft    *
      *   be referenced by any paper, report, or Request-    *
      *   for-Proposal, nor should a vendor claim compliance *
      *   with an Internet-Draft.                            *

Is an IANA registry a paper or report?
