We already have multiple registries. This one is about error codes only. I 
don't think the overlap is clear at this point between errors on the core 
endpoints vs error on the bearer and future auth schemes opting into this 
registry. So it is hard to tell which format would be better. The main question 
if we split the error registry into multiple tables is how registrations are 
done because currently, the template is used as-is to insert a single record 
into the IANA table.
