Hi Paolo,

There’s perhaps no compelling reason, more so since we already have per message 
type registries.

Hi Dhananjay,

On the “Generic BMP TLVs”, what is the tangible benefit that you would
see by defining it?

I mean, for sure you would not have to define the same code point in
multiple registries -- but that is just like saving some words in a
document and some effort to keep the registries sync'd up (i admit that
we can be a bit smarter with allocations).

On the other hand, guess you have a generic namespace and per message
type namespaces, with the per message type namespaces already populated:
what do you do with existing code points. Also probably not many TLVs
may apply to message types like Init and Term.

Paolo
