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.
