[IPFIX] exporting ranges in IPFIX

Dear IPFIX experts,
As far as I know, IPFIX doesn't have a generic mechanism for reporting
ranges.
I'm looking for a way to report bulk port allocation per section 5 of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-behave-lsn-requirements-05.
This method would be useful for reporting port ranges in
draft-tsou-behave-natx4-log-reduction-02 and draft-bajko-pripaddrassign-04.
So I propose to request three new IPFIX Information Elements:
Port block start: 16 bits
Port block step size 8 bits
Number of ports in block 16 bits
However, there could be better ways to export a "range" which don't
require three new IEs each time. Do you forsee a need for a such a
mechanism?
Shall I proceed with my request to IANA? If so, should I write a short
ID explaining how the three IEs should be used together?
Thanks,
P.
