Now talking only about the Tranform Type 4 - Diffie-Hellman Group
Transform IDs IANA registry.

Hmm... I think the IANA registry should really list these out, instead
of using range to reference to the RFCs.

I think we should fix the IANA registry so the group names will match
the section / appendix names in the appropriate RFCs and where there
would not be any range allocations. The resulting IANA registry would
be like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Registry Name: Transform Type 4 - Diffie-Hellman Group Transform IDs
Reference: [RFC4306]
Registration Procedures: Expert Review

Registry:
Number        Name                                Reference

              Prime Order Subgroup
23            2048-bit MODP Group with 224-bit    [RFC5114]
              Prime Order Subgroup
24            2048-bit MODP Group with 256-bit    [RFC5114]
              Prime Order Subgroup
25            192-bit Random ECP Group            [RFC5114]

1024-65535    Private use                         [RFC4306]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless anybody objects, I will be requesting IANA to make the change
next week.
