Frankly, I'm actually more concerned about code assignments for

algorithm appears to use Elliptic curve math, and it's entirely
unclear to me whether and how existing EC-related IPR claims might
apply.)
Withholding registration just means that people are going to pick an
unregistered number with all the problems that that entails. In cases where
there are no scarcity issues registration should happen as long as there is a
reasonable expectation of non-negligible use, regardless of whether the
registered protocol is endorsed by the IETF (whatever that means) or IANA.
