I see your point. We also need to remember that some names are based
on rules and not static strings.

Didn't cross reference with any drafts or ietf-wg mailing lists, but
the text of the proposed new registry agreement says (page 197 of
DAGv3):

<quote>
4.5 Object Statuses. RFC 4930 (EPP) and related RFCs, see [1], [2],
[3], [4] indicate permissible status
codes for various registry objects. Additionally the status “reserved”
is allowed for domains; it is used
to indicate a reserved name on behalf of the Registry or ICANN.

4.6 Reserved Name Handling. Registries typically have a set of names
reserved on behalf of themselves
or IANA. Reserved names must be included in the DOMAIN file, and have
the special "reserved"
status associated with them in the DOMSTATUS file to indicate that
they are reserved.

For the references 1,2,3,4 the doc says:
