Ah, you seem to be addressing writing a new document that describes 
this mapping.
This is certainly one good way to do this.

In Minneapolis last week, we discussed the possibility of inserting the 
code point for the stream descriptor into the existing ULE document, in 
an "IANA action" like way (i.e. late in the RFC editor pipeline).
Only in that context does my comment (the MPEG tables should not be a 
mandatory part of the ULE encapsulation) make any sense.
