This is exactly what I predicted would happen - the IANA considerations

make that two - I put in in my own equivalent template some time back.)
You can make it three: mine says:
This memo adds no new IANA considerations. The presence of this
template text indicates that the author/editor has not actually
reviewed IANA considerations.
and there's similar text for internationalization and security.
The goal of putting it in the template is to encourage it be addressed,
rather than forgotten altogether.
However, I'm not at all in favor of requirements to IDs that are added
ad-hoc; until this actually makes it into an RFC as a formal
requirement, it won't be in the word template I manage.
I wouldn't call it ad-hoc; it's part of an IESG-generated document on
the official IETF web site, and it also has been documented for quite
some time in the draft successor to RFC 2223 also known as
instructions2authors.
