>   Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and
>   other well-known values. Even after a protocol has been defined and
>   deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for 
>   a new option type in DHCP, or a new encryption or authentication        
>   algorithm for IPSec).  To insure that such quantities have consistent    
>   values and interpretations in different implementations, their          
>   assignment must be administered by a central authority. For IETF        
>   protocols, that role is provided by the Internet Assigned Numbers       
>   Authority (IANA).

>   In order for the IANA to manage a given numbering space prudently, it
>   needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can
>   be assigned. If the IANA is expected to play a role in the management
>   of a numbering space, the IANA must be given clear and concise
>   instructions describing that role.  This document discusses issues
>   that should be considered in formulating an identifier assignment
>   policy and provides guidelines to document authors on the specific
>   text that must be included in documents that place demands on the
>   IANA.
