This is already in the draft. It makes use of the registry proposed by  
Olafur and me for use by SINK.ARPA.

Note that the draft specifies that LOCAL.ARPA *not* be delegated, not  
that any change be made to the ARPA zone. The document further  
requests approval from the IAB in section 9. All procedural bases seem  
well-covered here (to the extent that the SINK.ARPA proposal has legs).

8.  IANA Considerations


    This document directs the IANA to add the following record to the
    ARPA Reserved Names Registry [I-D.jabley-sink-arpa]:

    +------------+----------------------+--------- 
+---------------------+
    | Name       | Purpose              | RRTypes |  
Reference           |
    +------------+----------------------+--------- 
+---------------------+
    | LOCAL.ARPA | Locally administered | NONE    | This  
document       |
    |            | infrastructure       |         | (RFCXXXX)  S.  
3     |
    +------------+----------------------+--------- 
+---------------------+

9.  IAB Considerations

    The addition of "LOCAL.ARPA" to the ARPA Reserved Names Registry
    requires IAB approval.
