I agree with you.  The reality today in fact IS TLD forests.  Some 
months ago I remember getting your email on ICP-3 - which I also 
remember on the date of its publication.  At that time  decided that yes 
it would be approriate for the Public Root to likewise respect the test 
bed.  What we need is appropriate proceedure to register an experiment 
under ICP-3.  ANy ideas?
Kindest regards
