I concur with Brian's points #1 and #2.
I'm further concerned about DISCOURAGED. Here it is defined as
"Implementations SHOULD support this functionality," which seems very
counter-intuitive. (It was worse in version -02, where the 2119 MUST
was used, making DISCOURAGED a stronger statement than MANDATORY.)
There's too much potential for confusion here.
With that said, I am sympathetic to the need Andrew describes, of
wanting to collect this requirement information in one place (for
DNSSEC, in particular). Putting this in the IANA registry is a grand
idea.
But the terms in this doc still need work.
