you can take the discussion here as indicating some loud voices for "RFC 6761 was a mistake" so the -BIS document should consider one option being to say "we made a mistake: we don't do this"

Just don't consider me one of those voices.  We can always do better, but it's not like we're piling on the names in that registry.

This may not be a particularly good assumption. We have five requests being actively pursued in the WG at the moment, and were told yesterday in so many words that there are more to come. 

The effort we’ve put into handling just one (.onion) is not going to scale well to even 10x, particularly if we want add some form of active coordination with another body’s processes.
