[WEG] You're hairsplitting on semantics in a way that is mostly unhelpful to the discussion at hand. Reserving the block for LISP means that it cannot be used for anything else. Whether that's an IANA reservation or an RIR allocation is really immaterial to the point I was making, which is that if you truly believe we have to identify a block once and for all for LISP that is the correct size to be used permanently and indefinitely, you need a better justification than you've given, and using "experimental" as a justification for not having the details worked out isn't going to be acceptable.
