The -02 version of registry-fixes says

   The requirement status for all new algorithms will be DISCRETIONARY
   unless a Standards Track document changes that (possibly including
   the Standards Track document defining the algorithm).  Only a
   Standards Track document may make an algorithm ENCOURAGED or
   MANDATORY or remove the MANDATORY or ENCOURAGED designation (to
   DISCOURAGED or OBSOLETE for example).

There is no reference from the current (alg-allocation) document to
the registry-fixes doc because we were trying, very hard, to keep each
document specific and focussed.

Does that help?
