Given the care to avoid collisions, it seems a bit odd to reuse the
same name for the IANA registry, and I'd suggest making some
change to the name. Given that the old registry has some values
(0,1, 4, and 252) that are not registered by this document, the
two are not exactly congruent even though none of those registered
by this document are in conflict with that registry. This could
be worked out with IANA and made and RFC Editor note, though.
fyi: algorithm 1 has been deprecated for some time, 0 is reserved (ie,
do not use), and algorithms 4 and 252 have never been specified.
ie, what you're seeing here may be misguided (that's between you and
your rabbi), but it's deliberate.
