What I think Kathleen is asking isn’t to have the document specify the
registration details, but to make sure the registry header does.  The
document says to use the instructions in the registry, but there are no
instructions in the registry.  Either the document has to bootstrap that by
giving an initial set of instruction to put there, or the registry has to
have registration instructions that we can sanity-check now.  It doesn’t.

If the document says to see the registry for registration instructions,
there had better be instructions there, no?
