First, while I have to agree the three references listed as
Informative
are what I would imagine most people could agree to be just
that, it is
probable that IANA cannot create the registries indicated
until these
references are published, and possible that IANA will not
want this to
be published until they can create the corresponding
registries. This
means that these references are essentially Normative in
their effect
on publication of this draft.
Is IANA going to be willing to allow publication of this
document as a
BCP without first creating the registries? Can IANA create
a registry
with references to WIP?

Indeed you have uncovered a couple of bugs here, Thanks Eric.
I went to check up on these three references. The [BERRY] reference
is for a draft that was actually approved by the IESG back in Jan,
but seems to have popped out of the RFC Editor's queue shortly
after. I had not noticed and am following up.
The [ARBERG] reference was just approved days ago, I assume it is
advancing normally. Michelle (IANA) specifically acknowledged the
IANA considerations section (which provides a cross-reference to
the iana document) when this happened last week.
With respect to the [CARREL] reference (PADN and PADM), no one has
asked me to publish this, and I am not aware of its advancement.
The values are FCFS, so technically a draft is not needed, but it
would be good to know if anyone is going to advance this or not.
Perhaps it should not be in the initial list? Authors, do we know
if this is implemented and in use?
Thanks,
- Mark

1. Introduction
This document provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) regarding the registration of values related to
the PPP over Ethernet Protocol (PPPoE), defined in [RFC2516], in
accordance with BCP 26, [RFC2434]. It also reserves PPPoE TAG
values as well as PPPoE packet Code fields which are or have been
in use on the Internet.
1.1 Terminology
The following terms are used here with the meanings defined in
BCP 26: "name space", "registration".
The following policies are used here with the meanings defined in
BCP 26: "First Come First Served".
1.2 Specification of Requirements
In this document, several words are used to signify the
requirements
of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key
words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document
are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2. IANA Considerations
The PPPoE protocol as defined in [RFC2516] defines two name
spaces that requires registration, the PPPoE TAG and the PPPoE
Code field.
2.1 Registration Policies for PPPoE TAG Values
IANA shall set up a registry of "PPPoE TAG Values". These are
16-bit values. PPPoE TAG values already in use are specified
as reserved in this document, all other TAG values between 0 and
65535 are to be assigned by IANA, using the "First Come First
Served" policy defined in [RFC2434].
A TAG-Name, and a point of contact or a specification
description (if any exists) MUST be provided for any assignment
from this registry."
2.2 Reserved PPPoE TAG Values

2.3 Registration Policies for PPPoE Code fields
IANA shall set up a registry of PPPoE Active Discovery Code
fields. These are 8-bit values. PPPoE Code fields already in use
are specified as reserved in this document, all other Code
values between 0 and 255 are to be assigned by IANA, using
the "First Come First Served" policy defined in [RFC2434].
A PPPoE Active Discovery packet name and a point of contact or a
specification description (if any exists) MUST be provided for
any assignment from this registry."
2.4 Reserved PPPoE Code fields
Code Value PPPoE Packet Name Reference

101 0x65 PADS, Session-confirmation [RFC2516]
167 0xa7 PADT, Terminate [RFC2516]
211 0xd3 PADM, Message [CARREL]
212 0xd4 PADN, Network [CARREL]
3. Security Considerations
This document focuses on IANA considerations for the PPPoE
protocol, and as such should help remove the possibility for the
same PPPoE
code field and PPPoE TAG value being used for different
functionalities.
