https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/ is the place that talks about bibxml8 references.
kramdown-rfc is just mapping all the IANA.* references to bibxml8, as in
https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml8/reference.IANA.cbor-tags.xml

Apparently.
bibxml8/index.cgi:
if ($IANAref =~ m(^/?reference.IANA[.]([^/]+)[.](xml|kramdown)$)) {
my $IANAref = $1;
…
my $a = get("http://www.iana.org/assignments/$IANAref/“;);
kramdown-rfc is, somewhat ironically maybe, using the xml version then :-) (getting the kramdown [really: YAML] version isn't even implemented at xml2rfc.ietf.org, but there is no need to).
