Re: Last Call: <draft-harkins-ipsecme-spsk-auth-03.txt> (Secure PSK Authentication for IKE) to Informational RFC

Hello,

A question on the flowing extract:

This memo contains a new numberspace to be managed by IANA, a
    registry used to indicate a password preprocessing technique.  The
    initial layout of this registry SHALL be:

    o   0x00 : None

    o   0x01 :RFC2759  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2759>

    o   0x02 : SASLprep

    The Prep field is 8 bits long and all other values are available
    through assignment by IANA.  IANA is instructed to assign values
    based on "Specification Required" (see [RFC5226  
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226>]).
It contains the description of new registry. but it fails to give it the distinctive definition. Among other, what is the exact name of the registry? How are the fields named? The sentence "The Prep field is 8 bits long and all other values are available through assignment by IANA." also makes me confusing. This means that the Prep field is not assigned by IANA? Finally, 0x00 is Unassigned or Reserved?

Thus, this extract needs more clarification.
