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.
