[Roni Even] I think that the directive for future allocation must be clear
both in the IANA registry and the document for example look at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6426#section-7.3 
I also think that is this case this document updates RFC4379 .

[Roni Even] RFC4379 says 
"If a TLV or sub-TLV has a Type that falls in the range for Vendor
   Private Use, the Length MUST be at least 4, and the first four octets
   MUST be that vendor's SMI Private Enterprise Number, in network octet
   order.  The rest of the Value field is private to the vendor."
