I don't want to turn this into a process debate, but having a provisional 
registry like this allows you to create interoperable implementations while the 
document is still at draft. I often see a push to get a document published 
because we need the IANA assignments for products. 

Of course they could still do this with a single registry where provisional 
entries are somehow marked (with an asterisk?). That way we wouldn't get to a 
situation where we have double entries.
