- As already pointed out, in particular to Ran Atkinson:
"Making the reservation for one design, experimental or not, is a guarantee 
that no future design with conflict with it, experimental or not. A central 
registry is the appropriate tool for this."

- 4rd needs only 1/16384 of the currently unused range, which is worth 
registering.
