Except that the assumption of this exercise is to change as few things
as possible and an assumption that they can or even should be moved to
seperate entities is not warranted.  The solition does not need to match
the structure of the operational communities doing the recommendations.

Without an anaylisis of the effect of seperation, I think it unwise to
assume they can or should be split.

I therefore would rather assume that the unity of IANA should be
preserved until such time as it is proved that sperating them is the
better solution.  And until it is proven that sperating them invovles no
risk.  Even the IETF which is assuming it can pull out of IANA at any
time has not done a complete analysis of the risks of doing so. Until we
are sure that it does not pose a risk to the Internet, we ought to be
careful about dumping this requirement.
