ARP certainly precedes any notion of defining rules for how to add
code points. However, as a contributor to an RFC that extended ARP
(Inverse ARP, RFC 1293), at that time we wrote a draft in the IPLPDN
working group that defined the new code points, and it went through
the usual standards track process.

Cheers,
