Is there a good example of an RFC that provides everything IANA wants?  You're 
not the first person to say that this section is insufficient, but I don't know 
what sort of thing they need other than a sentence reserving this header's name 
in their official list of headers.  As I recall, the I-D HowTo document only 
says that this section should be there, and should indicate which registration 
method should be used, which is what I did.
