Due to the registry's unfortunate lack of any P&E range, Hal and other implementers have picked four codes that they've been squatting on for their draft implementations. Desiring to avoid a flag day when the draft becomes final, they'd like IANA to turn these four codes into official allocations rather than having IANA arbitrarily assign something else. Speaking as an author of the draft I have no objection to this.

It's pretty normal/supported to include requested values in the IANA
Considerations section.  Just be clear that they're suggestions and not
official allocations, lest you get a DISCUSS for codepoint squatting :)
