Tony – As one of the designated experts for many of IS-IS registries, I can tell you that the guidance in RFC 7370 has always been followed to date. I can also tell you that this is not the first case where authors of an individual submission have requested codepoints and we - the designated experts (not just me) - have always insisted that the SHOULD be followed.
The intent is to ensure that codepoints are not assigned to documents which have yet to establish broad consensus. An exception would require justification that satisfies designated experts as well as WG chairs. You are impatient. But that doesn’t mean you are “in the right”.

Please read what you quoted. That's a SHOULD, not a MUST. You don't get to raise the bar on a whim.

The Designated Experts SHOULD only consider requests that arise from I-Ds that have already been accepted as Working Group documents or that are planned for progression as AD Sponsored documents in the absence of a suitably chartered Working Group.” So what you say below is not correct.

I would also like to formally request code point assignment for this document. The relevant code points are all under "Expert Review" and do not require formal adoption before code point allocation. We would greatly prefer not to squat on code point values if we do not have to. Regards, Tony
