Why?

Some future IAB would have a list of names and the appropriate reference.

The purposes of the document under review is described fairly succinctly in section 1:

   1.  to create a new IANA registry called "ARPA Reserved Names" (see
       Section 4);

   2.  to define the special considerations of a single name SINK.ARPA,
       a name which is defined never to exist (see Section 2);

   3.  to allow the procedures by which the ARPA zone is maintained, as
       documented in [RFC3172], to be modified for names present in the
       ARPA Reserved Names registry according to the special
       characteristics of those names (see Section 5).

Which of those three purposes are you suggesting the AS112 project could help with?

None of the above. I said "The operational utility could be addressed by a project similar to AS112" [1].
