Hi -

I just took a look at RFC8446 and I can't find support for that claim.  
The IANA considerations section refers to RFC8126 and only 
"Specification Required" or "Standards Action" as the path to 
registration.   Searching for "ID", "I-D", "internet draft" and 
"Internet-Draft" doesn't get me anything.

AFAIK, "Specification Required" as defined in 8126 does not include 
Internet Drafts, even under the heading of "informal documentation" .  
Maybe time to ask the IANA?
