Would like to see proposed wording, but the concept seems fine.

Amended to:

  Where a CA supports both the "validationmethods" parameter and one or
  more non-ACME challenge methods, it MUST assign identifiers to those
  methods. If appropriate non-ACME identifiers are not present in the
  ACME Validation Methods IANA registry, the CA MUST use identifiers
  beginning with the string "nonacme-". Such identifiers have
  CA-specific meaning.

Attention should be drawn to the following text in the ACME I-D:

  When evaluating a request for an assignment in this registry, the designated
  expert should ensure that the method being registered has a clear,
  interoperable definition and does not overlap with existing validation 
methods.
  That is, it should not be possible for a client and server to follow the
  same set of actions to fulfill two different validation methods.

  Validation methods do not have to be compatible with ACME in order to be
  registered.  For example, a CA might wish to register a validation method in
  order to support its use with the ACME extensions to CAA
  {{?I-D.ietf-acme-caa}}.

Since this is a prefix and not an entry per se, it seems like the
cleanest way to accommodate this is to amend the ACME I-D, rather than
use of "IANA Considerations" section, which is currently nil. The ACME
I-D is already referencing ACME-CAA above. But I'm open to suggestions.
