While it may well the be case that MOST of the changes resulted from 
the experiment and were called out to the WG, the change I cited (re: 
creating IANA registries using templates) was neither a result of the 
experiment (having been made before the experiment), nor called out.

As for the WG being "fully aware" of the changes resulting from the 
experiment, I note that between the end of WGLC in November 2006 and 
the start of IETF last call a year later (which included the time of 
the experiment), the namedroppers list appears to have seen fourteen 
posts about 2929bis.  The post-experiment discussion of these changes 
was minimal at best.

I'm glad you agree that it is an excellent question.  I suspect it's 
one of the things IANA plans to weigh in on.
