Yes, but it is close. I agree with Valery and others that allocation in this 
set of values needs to be "RFC required" to avoid losing track of the actual 
algorithms. Also, it can't be "the top 64 values" because some of them are 
already in use. And it really doesn't need to be 64 values: the WG will want to 
revisit this decision well before then. Making 100-122 be RFC Required, and 
updating RFC 8624 to show these values with "MAY" in each column, makes the 
intention clear.
