I strongly support the progression of this document as currently written.  I
have been working on a protocol that requires registration of XML namespaces
and schemas, and it just makes sense for there to be an IETF registry for
parameters used in IETF protocols rather than using a registry operated by
an organization like OASIS or some private space.
