Errata 2684 was entered against RFC 5226, "Guidelines for Writing an IANA
Considerations Section in RFCs". After discussion with one of the RFC authors and
IANA staff, I rejected the errata.
The errata author is saying that in many registries, there are no "unreserved" values. For
registries where there are a finite number of entries possible, the "unreserved" has a clear
meaning. For registries with an unbounded number of potential entries (such as media-types), the errata
author is claiming that the "unreserved" label does not make sense.
I'd like to know what others think about this errata.

The text is in an etc sequence, and in some cases "unreserved" may be
appropriate, although some other notation may be appropriate and the
text makes it clear that a term that is appropriate to the registry may
be used.
