I had a quick chat with the iANA folks about the HashAlgorithm and 
SignatureAlgorithm, which we are effectively closing by marking all 
unregistered bits as either reserved or depcreated.  IANA suggested another way 
which is to just close the registry,   An example for the registry follows:

        TLS HashAlgorithm Registry

        Registration Procedure(s)

        Closed see [this-to-be-rfc]

        Reference

        [RFC5246][this-to-be-rfc]

We’d make the following changes to the draft:

OLD:
    [SHALL update/has updated] the TLS HashAlgorithm Registry to list
    values 7-223 as "Reserved" and the TLS SignatureAlgorithm registry
    to list values 4-223 as "Reserved”.

NEW:
    [SHALL close/has closed] the TLS HashAlgorithm Registry and
    the TLS SignatureAlgorithm registries for new assignments.

I personally think this is cleaner that reserving the values.  But, it does 
mean that this registries are closed for assignments.
