Well, we're not -- we're just codifying the location of historical data. The 
data itself is codified in the XML file.

If you're suggesting that IANA should attempt to expunge from all places any 
references to an old trust anchor following a role, I don't think I agree. I 
think for diagnostic purposes and even just reasons of historical interest an 
authoritative catalogue of previously-used trust anchors is useful.

Presumably there is always the potential for change. This I-D seeks to document 
current practice, which is as-described.

My reading of RFC 5226 was that this section should concern itself with actions 
that the IANA should take in direct consequence of this document. There are no 
such actions in this case, which is why I used "no IANA actions".
