hence, rather than "provisional" i suggest using the term "proprietary".

No, I don't think "proprietary" is right, because these things don't
always (or even usually) come from "vendors".

For example, if this provisional/whatever registry has been in existence
at the present time, then various header in the current Usefor draft would
have been in it, but I don't think Usefor would regard itself as a
"proprietor".

BTW, there is one Usefor header ("Replaces") that would have been placed
in the registry, and later removed (because we decided not to proceed with
it in the present draft).
