Sure, not squatting on codepoints is worthwhile.  But it also pays to put
some thought in in advance about what to do when the references go and
change the protocol parameters.  If you can't enumerage all implementations
and ensure they are either updated or gone by some deadline, you probably
have to get a new codepoint.  Which is not so terrible (see TLS
ExtensionType Value 53), but good to make sure everyone is on the same page
before we get there.
