I read draft-housley-number-registries-02. I don't see the purpose of identifying IANA registries when there are already registries (e.g. IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry Entries) which can be used to identify the entries used within the IETF. There is a registry for IPv4 addresses at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ It's unlikely that it will be changed as the global IPv4 address pool has run out. There is a registry for IPv6 addresses at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space/

The draft gets into a discussion about a reservation of the numbers. There isn't anything in the draft which directly identifies IANA registries. Quoting RFC 7020:

  "Per the delineation of responsibility for Internet address policy
   issues specified in the IETF/IAB/ICANN MOU [RFC2860], discussions
   regarding the evolution of the Internet Numbers Registry System
   structure, policy, and processes are to take place within the ICANN
   framework and will respect ICANN's core values [ICANNBL]."

Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 of this draft is in contradiction with the above by getting into the details of the framework. By the way, the reference for RFC 7020 and RFC 1112 are missing.
