Dear Scott,
RFCs are made to be adapted to needs. The question should be "what do we
want?". I think the response is "to experiment". This means that every
registry should include an ad-experimendam area. If the experimentation is
OK it will permit to document the allocation of a code point without
interrupting the experimentation. If the experimenation fails, then who
cares? 200 mails on "IESG approval" saved each time.
The main characteristics of an experimentation should be: community
oriented (not private), reversible, not affecting non participants
operations, no acquired rights without community approval, limited scope in
time and space. Documentation is of no interest until it succeeds. This
should not be confused with a private area: private usage is to be
protected/separated from experimentation.
