Note that the problem is not just any IANA action... an experimental
protocol that is outside the IETF may register with IANA.  The bug is
if the action for an independent submission is treated as a STANDARDS
registration, subject to IETF consensus, etc.

The RFC Editor agrees to not be stupid and to avoid acting in ways
that are obviously intended to end-run established community procedures
or in any other way act against the best interests of the community.

In fact, come to think of it, the RFC Editor has been trying its best
to accomplish this since before a number of you were born.  Hey,
let's codify Truth, Justics, and the American Way of Life!
