  Is it possible for IANA to initiate a discussion in the mailing-list
  before publishing a value, at least, for long lived drafts ? So that
  we come to a consensus before assigning a value. If not, at least,
  isn't it a good idea to let the WG know the rational reason behind 
  changing the proposed value in the draft ?
