Thanks for processing my mumbling above. I was not sure I'm on the right 
track, but if you say it sounds sensible I guess we are done with it and 
don't need to get _more_ WG input on these nits.

>>> 3.1.2. Private Use Range
>>> The range 0xF1F0-0xF1FF is reserved for Private Use in accordance with [RFC8126]. Values in this range MUST NOT be published in zones intended for the public DNS and MUST NOT be used in any context where interoperability with implementations outside a private network is required.

Otherwise we would need sub-range for experiments, and I think it is not necessary.

Really up to the WG, I'm indecisive on this myself.
