@MikeBishop: Can you add the same text to 22.2 (Transport parameter registry) in the transport doc as well? |

Please don't add notes to the registries. There are lots of things to note about the registration rules; calling this specific rule out implies that understanding this is sufficient. It also puts information about greased codepoints in a very easily accessible place, which runs counter to our goals.

IANA's review wanted to know whether the 148 quadrillion GREASE values should be listed on the registry page as Reserved, and what note should be present if not.
They should not, lest it be challenging to actually download the registry page within the lifetime of the human race. This rewords the restriction and clarifies that the restriction should be the note.
Fixes #4372.
