I was probably the person suggesting the current writeup, based on my previous 
interaction with IANA regarding RFC 7401 publication.

Before making any IANA section changes, I would like to ask for further 
clarification, because it seems to me that the guidance being given now 
conflicts with instructions we received from IANA when revising RFC 5201 to 
become RFC 7401.

When RFC 5201 was updated to RFC 7401, we originally followed the "copy forward 
the IANA section" approach, but were told by IANA that they preferred that we 
instead state the updates to be taken on existing registries rather than 
repeating earlier actions that were already taken to create the registries.

That led to the following revisions (where you can see, when using the IETF 
rfcdiff tool, in version 14 it is a copy forward while version 15 it updates 
the existing registries):
