In section 7, it says:

7.  IANA Considerations
   Following the policies outlined in [IANA-CONSIDERATIONS], names of
   sender authentication methods supported by this specification must be
   registered with IANA under the IETF Consensus method, with the excep-
   tion of experimental names as defined above.

This needs to be beefed up more. What's the registry look like? There
should be specific recommendations on the information that a document
associated with an authentication method needs to provide. Obviously
there's the name of the authentication method. How about the ptype
values appropriate for this method? Or the property values that are
appropriate for this method?

Is there a good example of an RFC that provides everything IANA wants? You're not the first person to say that this section is insufficient, but I don't know what sort of thing they need other than a sentence reserving this header's name in their official list of headers. As I recall, the I-D HowTo document only says that this section should be there, and should indicate which registration method should be used, which is what I did.
