I dont see any other option. IANA assignment is needed.
otherwise how can the AR and the MN agree to the same
type values for different types of interfaces?

this means there is a fundamental problem. maybe you
should remove the L2 type field from the L2_ID suboption.
it is considered optional already. the Sub-Option Len
can indicate the length of the L2 ID field.
