I have earlier commented on the use of "were" (past) in a (probably) 
different version of that text. I continue to think that "were" is 
factually incorrect and therefore wrong.

In addition, "that registry no longer relevant" lacks a predicate. 
Please add "is".

So I propose to change this to something along the lines of:

Encodings and their specifications (if any) are also being kept
track of by the IANA Character Sets registry. For the purposes of
specifications using this specification, that registry is no longer 
relevant.
