[EXP2STD] IANA Registries for LCT Header Extentions ?

All,

 

In updating the LCT and ALC documents for Standards Track, I have come
again across the fact that there is no process defined for specifying
new LCT Header Extensions.

 

LCT divides the LCT Header Extension Type range into two parts, a
general part and a PI-specific part. LCT then defines two general LCT
Header Extensions (EXT_NOP and EXT_AUTH).

 

ALC goes on to define an ALC-specific LCT Header Extension EXT_FTI.
FLUTE defines two further ALC-specific extensions EXT_FDT and EXT_CENC.

 

I think we should have IANA registries for these: a registry for the
general LCT header extensions (which would be established in the 'IANA
Considerations' of LCT) and registries for the PI-specific header
extensions (one for each PI, established by the 'IANA Considerations' of
each PI specification).

 

Comments ? What should the allocation rules be ? "IETF Consensus",
"Specification Required" ?

 

Regards,

 

Mark
