And it's just weird that we don't update that document to formally permit what we actually do.

I think this is built around a misunderstanding of early assignment.
Or maybe I misunderstand. Early assignment happens when changes to the
wireformat would be deeply unlucky, but the text may still be
developed. And so having the pointer to an I-D that is going through
the process to become an RFC is fine.
