Sorry for not following up at that time, Denis, but we've got different
timings -- there's very little energy I can devote to Babel during term
time.

Thanks.  I'll see with the IETF reviewers.

I'm open to discussion, but I'm planning

   0-127: Specification Required
 128-144: Experimental Use
 145-254: Specification Required
     255: Reserved

The idea about the Experimental range is that it should be easy to decode
by sight in a hexdump.  Hence the choice of values.
