I'm somewhat interested in spec writing and legal matters. It seem to me, that this rfc is overly verbose given the change it proposes. And (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) rfc:s are generally supposed to be as short as possible.

For example, "IANA should also typographically distinguish “Unassigned” and “Reserved” in the registry descriptions, to prevent confusion." seem like a good idea but is an unrelated matter.
