This wouldn't be possible, as 2554bis is already approved ;-).

Read the rest of my sentence - I was referring to publication of 2554bis, not approval. There have been plenty of cases where a draft has been approved and then awaited publication for months or even years while numerous other related drafts are written, approved, and even published. This is especially true with
security-related documents.

Fair enough.

In the specific case of 2554bis I don't see anything that would delay
publication - in particular, all normative references are to published RFCs.
But even so, it is possible, albeit unlikely,

Yes, I think it is unlikely.

that an IANA registry for
enhanced status codes could be approved before 2554bis is published, in which as I noted below a revision with an RFC Editor note would be appropriate if
not required.

It might be just as easy to add registration of 2554bis enhanced status codes to Tony's/John's draft.
