Actually we prefer to keep this draft generic, and define specific objective 
functions in other documents. For instance 
draft-lee-pce-global-concurrent-optimization-02.txt requests for three code 
points within the OF registry.

The OF is identified by a 16 bit code point.
A document that defines a new OF will request IANA for a code point within the 
OF code point registry.
We will clarify in next revision.
