Hi Amanda, Thanks for these inputs.
OK to add 6to4 as another example. It is actually a good example as we do have two ways to spell it out in existing RFCs :-) I updated the text to better insist that the effort should be on the authors side to make the IANA task easy. Also, updated the template with a placeholder for that check. Please see the proposed changes at: https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/iddiff?url_1=https://netmod-wg.github.io/rfc8407bis/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis.txt&url_2=https://netmod-wg.github.io/rfc8407bis/Amanda/IANA-follow-up-on-expanding-numbers/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis.txt Hope this is better.
