I am not sure about this. If we want type identifiers to be valid beyond
the scope of a specific operator's domain or a specific implementation,
the control on these numers should be assigned to somebody, ensuring
their use in a unique manner.

Why do you think this is not necessary, or, more precisely, who,
if not IANA, should take over the control function on these identifiers?
