Ciao Luigi, The reason is to allow to experiment with shim headers and non-shim headers at the same time. As you may remember shim headers have a more fixed encodng and must be located before non-shim headers.

Looking at the next protocol values we now see: 0x7E to 0x7F: Experimentation and testing 0x80 to 0xFD: Unassigned (shim headers) 0xFE to 0xFF: Experimentation and testing Can you provide a rationale why not having just one bigger experimentation and testing range instead of two with an unassigned range in the middle?
