That wasn't clear from the draft under discussion.  It should
get some "I18N considerations" explaining why that's no issue.

Maybe the WiKi dictionary has a category "location" (?)

Not limited to registration request DoS attacks on IANA, yes.

Where do you expect to find volunteers for an expert review
of a location dictionary ?  From two "expert review" lists I
know (langtags and charsets) one works at the moment, I'm
not sure about the other.  

"Expert review" is essentially a filter protecting IANA from
some really bad ideas, but it's also an exercise in TINSTAAFL
- set up mailing list, appoint reviewer, handle appeals, etc.
