RFC 6890 defines the IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry and its fields, but the tables it contains are a snapshot taken at publication. Cite the live registry alongside it, and say which of the two carries current contents. From adoption-call review (T. Petch). New informative reference: IANA-IPV4-SPECIAL. Closes #9 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

RFC 6890 defines the registry and its fields, but the tables printed in it are a snapshot taken at publication. The IANA Considerations section cited only the RFC, which is the wrong place to look for current contents.
Now cites both, and says which does what: RFC 6890 for the definition, the live registry for what is actually assigned.
New informative reference
IANA-IPV4-SPECIAL, pointing at https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/.From adoption-call review (T. Petch).
Incidental check while confirming the URL:
192.0.0.11/32is still unassigned in the live registry. The neighbouring assignments are192.0.0.8/32,192.0.0.9/32,192.0.0.10/32,192.0.0.170/32and192.0.0.171/32, so the value suggested in IANA Considerations remains available. Worth knowing ahead of the #27 early-allocation request.Closes #9
