I believe that the first time a code point is specified, it is a
judgement call whether or not to create an IANA registry. If not, then
obviously the first subsequent document that defines additional values
needs to set up a registry. But if it doesn't appear that there are
likely to be any additional values for some time, I don't think it is
necessary to specify a registry and decide on an allocation policy
right away. By the time the first additional value needs to be
assigned the level of demand and the registration policy may be
clearer.

However, if the IESG would like, it would certainly be simple enough
to have these be IANA registries. (If that were done now I would
suggest an allocation policy of IETF Review due to the limited number
of values available.)

Thanks,
Donald
