4.1.1. Temporary Content-Format Registrations

The "CoAP Content-Formats" registry allows temporary registrations within the 0-64997 range.

A temporary registration may be created by an IANA early allocation action [RFC7120]. If the referenced Media Type is provisional, the registration is always temporary and is marked as such by IANA.

Once the required registration procedure has successfully completed and the referenced Media Type is included in the "Media Types" registry, IANA removes any indication of the temporary nature of the registration so that the entry becomes permanent.

If a temporary registration does not successfully complete the registration procedure, IANA removes the entry and sets the Content-Format ID value back to "Unassigned".

Temporary registrations within the 0-255 range are exempt from the formal renewal process outlined in [RFC7120]. IANA will not monitor removal of registrations in this range; instead, the designated experts direct IANA to carry out this task.
