Eric,

For my own understanding and apologies if this is a dumb question, but I read 
this in RFC5226:

"Standards Action - Values are assigned only for Standards Track RFCs approved 
by the IESG.”


What do you mean by "at least Standards Action comes with early allocation”?
This still requires an RFC or... do you mean there will be a way to register 
bits earlier than the RFC milestone?

Thank you.
Jorge
