I don't understand; NALP is the set of all dispatch bytes whose first two bits are zero. If IANA isn't responsible for the NALP values, then I assume no-one is and it's a free-for-all of collision?
I agree with Geoff, IANA should not be concerned with NALP and how it is structured. NALP allows protocols that may have nothing to do with IP. Typically, the IEEE Registration Authority is responsible for maintaining their own namespace with ethertypes. Back in 2005, it seems that the WG did consider using LLC/SNAP encapsulation, but that adds another 8 octets and was thought to be too heavy weight.
