Yes, and no. The need relates to protocols that depend on PKIX.

RFC 8122 is "Connection-Oriented Media Transport over the Transport 
Layer Security (TLS) Protocol in the Session Description Protocol 
(SDP)". So basically it is SDP, and is a product of the MMUSIC WG (in ART).

Sometimes people need to identify hash algorithms with text strings. RFC 
8122 (obsoletes RFC 4572) defines such a registry. No need to reinvent 
the wheel.

There is no change to OIDs. The textual registration requires that the 
OIDs already be allocated for identification.

The alternate plan is to draft a Standards Track RFC specifically for 
the purpose of making the textual registration, referring to 
draft-ietf-lamps-pkix-shake. That seems like unnecessary work, but I 
will do it if that is what is required.

Best regards,

Sean
