Unless I misunderstand the compatibility mechanisms here, the reservation of
first byte=0-6 seems to assume that no further assignments will be made from
the "TLS HashAlgorithm Registry" (after 4492bis lands). If this is the case, I
would expect the IANA considerations section to include a request that the IANA
close the table to further registrations. The same comment applies to TLS
SignatureAlgorithm Registry.
Agreed, but I'd like to hear from the chairs.
I think we're still waiting to hear from the chairs on this topic.

I think this got lost somewhere in the flurry of emails:
See s17 of
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-iana-registry-updates/
We don’t close the registry because technically, if somebody really, really
wanted to they could register values for earlier versions.
Ah, thanks for the pointer. I don't agree with your evaluation that
draft-ietf-tls-iana-registry-updates preserves the ability to register
values for earlier versions, as it marks all remaining available
codepoints "reserved." That's effectively equivalent to what I'm asking
for, though, so my comment is addressed. There's still a potential mess
brewing for the HashAlgorithm codepoints 224 though 253 colliding with
SignatureScheme values of 0xE000 - 0xFDFF, but it seems pretty unlikely
that SignatureScheme allocations will reach that point before 1.2 and
previous versions disappear.
