Options are registered based on standard actions, so they will be assigned on publication of the RFC.

Yes. However, the document should only describe the final option. TFO notes in the IANA section that the experimental option exists and implementation should mitigate.

I guess the idea is that it doesn’t go into main line kernel before the RFC is approved… I know that’s not the reality.

I guess you can check with Yuchung what he did for TFO but I guess they’ve upstreamed it before the draft was published...
