I struggle to follow this I-D,

The meaning of a registry entry with an intial 'X' changes from private use to specification required.  What happens to all the private users?  Are their entries now open for squatting or some such?

   *  ID (required): a four-byte value padded on the right with zeros.
      Each value must be an ASCII uppercase letter or minus sign
Four bytes, each a value, each a letter or minus sign
- at face value, this means that there  can never be any zeros, there is no room for them.
- likewise, this allow values such as 'GP-S' which seems unwise

Designated Experts are expected to be familiar with I-D.  This mentions adding RFC5906; it seems to me that this I-D needs also to be a reference.
