Yeh, it's very common for authors to try to tell IANA how to handle registrations, and I often push back on that as inappropriate. There are certainly special conditions that IANA should be told about, but this is standard work-flow management stuff that ought to be left to IANA. I do think it should be changed before this is published, probably just removing that last sentence.
