There are two different potential intentions to 'Experimental':
1. to conduct an experiment, as Eliot notes below, i.e.,
to gain experience that a protocol 'does good' 'in the wild'
2. to gain experience that a protocol does no harm 'in the wild'
There is a third option, which is "we are not sure how this will work, or
if it will even work at all really, but we are confident enough in its
design stability to release it in limited form for further study"
That's #1 - if it doesn't provide some gain (utility to someone),
there's no point in the experiment ;-)
