Re: iSCSI - working draft and IANA

["Mallikarjun C." <cbm@rose.hp.com>]

Julian,

I like the general idea, a couple of comments.

- I assume that it's still the case that new RFCs can define new keys
  without any of the (X#, Y# and Z#) prefixes, if the proposed keys
   are expected to be broadly useful (i.e. beyond a "group of vendors").
   If that's true, then should they be registered into the IANA registry
   as well?

- It appears that the text only appears to require a registry for all
  new keys, but not for what's defined in the iSCSI draft today.  It
  may be useful to include currently defined keys as well, so there's 
  one repository for all keys.  I hope it doesn't lead to any technical 
  delays for the current draft....

Thanks.
