Hello,

A question on the flowing extract:

It contains the description of new registry. but it fails to give it the 
distinctive definition.  Among other, what is the exact name of the 
registry?  How are the fields named?  The sentence "The Prep field is 8 
bits long and all other values are available through assignment by 
IANA." also makes me confusing.  This means that the Prep field is not 
assigned by IANA?  Finally, 0x00 is Unassigned or Reserved?

Thus, this extract needs more clarification.
