I believe that this is the first Last Call since RFC6335 was published to request an entry in the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry and so a chance to understand how the RFC works in practice. >From the proforma in s.8.1.1., I was expecting to see something similar to the proforma used for a request for a URI (RFC4395) or for a media type, and I don't; in fact, I don't see any clear request, rather an implication that a request is being made for a service name (of nfs4, not one that is currently registered). Is the information in this I-D adequate (for IANA and other interested parties)? Should the information be presented as in RFC6335? Or what ?
