Here is a proposed IANA considerations section for the NETCONF
protocol draft. Also, while working through the various RFCs
3553 and 3688 I realized that the capability URNs shown in the
NETCONF protocol draft are incorrect.
The URNs currently have the form:
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:capability:{name}:1.0
This says that the capability is an XML namespace as defined
by RFC 3688. Strictly speaking, that is incorrect.
The capability URNs should really be a NETCONF protocol
parameter a la RFC 3553. Something like:
urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:{name}:1.0
If the WG approves, I will make this change to the protocol draft.
Here is a proposed IANA considerations section assuming the
capabilities are expressed as shown above. Please comment.

10. IANA Considerations
10.1. NETCONF XML Namespace
This document requests that IANA assign a URI for the NETCONF XML
namespace in the IETF XML registry [8].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration is
requested.
URI: Please assign the URI "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf" for use
by the NETCONF protocol.
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: This document.
10.2. NETCONF XML Schema
This document requests that IANA assign a URI for the NETCONF XML
namespace in the IETF XML registry [8].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration is
requested.
URI: Please assign the URI "urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:netconf" for
use by the NETCONF protocol.
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: Appendix B of this document.
10.3. NETCONF Capability URNs
This document requests that IANA create a registry for allocating
NETCONF capability identifiers. Allocation from the registry is
on a
First Come First Served Basis, but a specification is required.
The initial content of the registry will be the capability URNs
defined in Section 8. Once further experience is gained with
NETCONF, this sub-namespace may be used for additional purposes.
Following the guidelines in RFC 3553 [7], IANA is requested to
assign
a NETCONF sub-namespace as follows:
Registry name: netconf
Specification: This document.
Repository: This document.
Index value: The NETCONF capability name.
