Randall,

Concerning your question on IANA registration versus approval:

I am not exactly certain of the boundary conditions, but the basic tone
of the IANA is to serve simply as a registration mechanism, rather than
a review and approval mechanism.  I think it is reasonable to view us as
having enough other bodies for approval...

Hence, for example, MIME can declare a registration space and choose to
declare it as open or restricted.
