No, but it does make the recommendation to use unreserved space.  But it
"proposes that nay of them can be used by a network or application for
private use." [section 5].  Fundamentally, the end effect is the same:
we recommend you use these "unreserved" code points.  The net effect in
real world traffic will likely be the same (by design).  And the net
effect in policy will likely be the same: a potential collision that
forces other organizations to never register them because the defacto
standard created by this non-registration would be to treat it like it
was a registration.  [see .onion]

Yes, but they didn't do that.  I do suggest we do just that before
accepting this as a viable path forward.
