This is the draft that I mentioned during the INT area meeting
yesterday. It's a result of applying
3692 Assigning Experimental and Testing Numbers Considered Useful. T.
Narten. January 2004. (Format: TXT=15054 bytes) (Updates RFC2434)
(Also BCP0082) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)
to
2780 IANA Allocation Guidelines For Values In the Internet Protocol
and Related Headers. S. Bradner, V. Paxson. March 2000. (Format:
TXT=18954 bytes) (Also BCP0037) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)
Title : Experimental Values In IPv4, IPv6, ICMPv4,
ICMPv6, UDP and TCP Headers
Author(s) : B. Fenner
Filename : draft-fenner-iana-exp-2780-00.txt

When experimenting with or extending protocols, it is often necessary
to use some sort of protocol number or constant in order to actually
test or experiment with the new function, even when testing in a
closed environment. This document reserves some ranges of numbers
for experimentation purposes in specific protocols where the need to
support experimentation has been identified, and describes the
numbers that have already been reserved by other documents.

I'd love to get feedback on whether the proposed assignments are too
few, too many, or "just right".
Thanks,
Bill
