Well.
You make it sound as if it's ok to run two different registries with partly
overlapping values. It's not. It's a bug in the way IANA handles this. This is
what needs to be fixed.

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.
Yes.
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.
The key thing being that both registries share the same namespace, so,
by definition, an entry can not appear in both. If it does, there's a
process/software problem.
Of course the trivial way to do this right is to implement a *single*
registry, and to just store a flag for each entry.
Best regards, Julian
