Noting that we can in fact, omit the IANA indirection, and put something like
'rfc9123' in as the actual value.  I'm not sure that is a good idea for a
a number of real reasons.  At this point, we need to indicate *UDP*, or *TCP*
with flexibility to specify SCTP in the future.

There was a further locator that I tried to create, see:
      
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra-06#section-3.1.2

which was to use an IPIP tunnel.  The use of '41' was disputed, and maybe
this is a case where it should have been a literal 'ipip' or some such.
