I don't want to turn this into a process debate, but having a provisional registry like this allows you to create interoperable implementations while the document is still at draft. I often see a push to get a document published because we need the IANA assignments for products. 

Of course they could still do this with a single registry where provisional entries are somehow marked (with an asterisk?). That way we wouldn't get to a situation where we have double entries.
