Also, nice surprise mentioning it only there and not in the draft spec

There is no registration for it. However, only draft implmentations
send it (final ones won't), which should limit the damage, as draft
implementations are meant for testing only, and not for general-
purpose use.

Well, I don't suppose it will be re-used quickly...
