Thanks, Jonathan, for the explanation of history.
Thanks, Michael, for raising a ticket to track this.

The IESG just discussed the topic because a request was made to IANA to change
the (early) allocated value to match the draft. The IESG determined to defer the
decision until it meets on April 25th. 

It would be really helpful if, by that time, the WG can decide:
- What it wants the code point to be
- Whether the early allocation needs to be updated 
  with urgency or can wait until the document reaches
  the IESG (very soon as you have last called it).
- How the WG wants to handle the (early) allocated 
  code point (release it or deprecate it?)

Part of this discussion is that the code points are encouraged to have different
rest values, regardless of the settings of the other 3 bits, but they are
actually considered different code points even if they have the same rest value.

Thanks for your help with this,
Adrian
