An example of using IANA registries:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-i2nsf-sdn-ipsec-flow-protection-05

eg:

           typedef encryption-algorithm-type {
               type uint32;
               description
                   "The encryption algorithm is specified with a 32-bit
                   number extracted from IANA Registry. The acceptable
                   values MUST follow the requirement levels for
                   encryption algorithms for ESP and IKEv2.";
               reference
                    "IANA Registry- Transform Type 1 - Encryption
                    Algorithm Transform IDs. RFC 8221 - Cryptographic
                    Algorithm Implementation Requirements and Usage
                    Guidance for Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
                    and Authentication Header (AH) and RFC 8247 -
                    Algorithm Implementation Requirements and Usage
                    Guidance for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol
                    Version 2 (IKEv2).";
           }


This prevents an incomplete enumeration and prevents obsolete/deprecated
items to be specified in yang RFCs. Since we have quite a number of dead
RRtypes, it is really important to not to create new RFCs that enumerate
things like MD, MF, A6, etc etc
