But then:
6. Guidance in the use of these Imperatives Imperatives of the type defined in this memo must be used with care and sparingly. In particular, they MUST only be used where it is actually required for interoperation or to limit behavior which has potential for causing harm (e.g., limiting retransmisssions) For example, they must not be used to try to impose a particular method on implementors where the method is not required for interoperability.
To me this indicates that we should keep them out of registrations procedures.
(I also note that the "MUST" in the text I quoted shouldn't been used if the text followed its own advice :-).
