That sounds like an editorial error to me.
"any ranges to be *reserved* for .... "Unassigned"..."
doesn't make any sense at all. They are not reserved.
Yes, that is a type of error, but the meaning is that unassigned and
reserved values MUST (yes, must, that is in RFC 5226; see citation
below) be mentioned.
I do not see a citation "below".
This should probably be raised as erratum.
So the document specifying the regsitry MUST mention what are
Unassigned. Moreover, IMO, it would be useful to assign one value for
Experimentation.
No. should != must.
See below.
Even further? :-)
There are tons of registries where this is not the case; namely all or
most of those where the values are strings, not numbers.
The strings registries are rather exceptions from the rule I cited above.
Well, we have many of them. The rules should takes those into account.
Best regards, Julian
