[tcpm] IANA TCP options registry

[Fernando Gont <[e-mail]>]

(note: this post has nothing to do with the recent poll on whether the
TCP MD5 option should be obsoleted)

Folks,

The IANA TCP options registry
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/tcp-parameters/) lacks of valuable
information. e.g., you need to figure out by yourself what the "Bubba"
option is (or what it is used for), and missing references (e.g., for
options #20 through #23 are missing).

Al this was particularly painful when working on the CPNI TCP security
document. I ended up using an unofficial revised registry posted by
Alfred (http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tcpm/current/msg03199.html)
which is, IMO, far better than the current IANA registry.

What'd be the procedure to have Alfred's registry replace the current
one? (i.e., have most/all of the information there make it into the
"official" IANA registry).

Thanks!

Kind regards,
