Use of experimental protocol numbers doesn't mean you can't run your
experiment over the public internet. It just means you shouldn't advertise
or distribute that code to unsuspecting users. Keep your experimental code
out of the public pool and out of any version control branch that might go
into a release, but otherwise experiment away.
