I don't really see much connection with other VO standards, so I'd
be inclined to say the former.  But there doesn't seem to be much
constraint on presentation of conventions in the FITS convention
registry, so I think you could just add the text of an IVOA Note
to a convention record (though it could be worth checking with
the FITS office how this works).
