This thread has contained several suggestions that publication of an RFC in the Experimental category constitutes an "IETF experiment". I cannot find any evidence from RFC 2026 that there is any such thing as an "IETF experiment" or "IETF-sanctioned experiment". Section 4.2.1 of RFC 2026 explains what "Experimnental" means on an RFC.
