That is fine, but I would rather call the delegation field by a
different name than "RIR Num". Call in it RIR assumes that the numbers
can only be allocated by the current set of regional registries. I
don't
see any technical reason to carve this policy in a standard. I would
much prefer a neutral designation, e.g. "Registry Number".
Actually, I think for DNS operation purposes, it makes more sense to
reserve the RIR Num field for the existing regional registries.
Registries that aren't RIRs can be assigned by IANA directly from the
RIR=0 space.
