Those of us following the discussion on the i...@ietf.org list know that it is 
far from clear that draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic is going to be adopted by 
the IETF. It has gotten a lot of push-back.

Given that, #2 seems like the better option. The new draft simply needs to pull 
all the data from the in-queue RFC and make a registry for it. Developers 
follow the RFC-to-be for now, then follow the registry when it is created.

Which IETF have you been participating in where that kind of speed seems even 
remotely possible? :-(
