Without responding in detail to John's note, I'll say that I agree 
substantially with the notion that the fact that someone manages to get a 
protocol name or number registered, should not be any kind of justification 
for standardization of a document that describes use of that name or number.

If such a justification was inferred in my document, the problem is presumably 
my unclear language because no such justification was intended.

(I am very happy for my document to be re-pointed at informational, 
incidentally, for which wheels are in motion. I will likely leave the normative 
language in, in the interests of improved interop, and see how far I get.)

Code-points in the RRType registry are assigned by expert review (not simply by 
"filling out a template" as someone suggested earlier). If the suggestion is 
that the standards track is not available for any work that involves a code 
point that was assigned early, then I wonder what process is imagined for any 
future DNS work which aims at the standards track.
