I am totally puzzled as to what this "text" might contain. I can see some possibilities:

1. The objective is specific to a particular supported protocol, so the "text" contains exactly one supported protocol. In this case, if a Registrar supports different protocols, it would need to advertise different objectives, each containing exactly one supported protocol.

2. The objective advertises that the Registrar is willing to speak a variety of protocols, so the "text" contains a sequence of names of such protocols, with a defined separator. (This is what I would expect if "list of" were still present in the comment.)

I do *not* see the "text" containing the *name* of the set (as suggested by Carsten), because that would require the definition of a set of names, each referring to expected combinations of acceptable protocols, which would be impossible to manage.

objective-value = text       ; name of the supported protocols.
                             ; e.g., "EST-TLS" for RFC 7030.

Doesn’t pass semantic parser — one name for all protocols?
(What is the single name of all the people in the room?)

Do you want:

objective-value = text       ; name of the supported protocol.
                             ; e.g., "EST-TLS" for RFC 7030.

or

objective-value = text   ; name of the set of supported protocols.
                          ; e.g., "EST-TLS" for RFC 7030.
