RFC 6014 actually discourage doing so :shrug:

Also the problem is what "and algorithms" mean?

In BIND 9, I do have an experimental implementation of:
- FALCON-512
- HAWK-256
- HAWK-512
- SQIsign (NIST Level 1)
- MAYO (NIST Level 1)
- Antrag-512

And I expect there will be more experiments.  If we need interoperability
I rather had a temporary agreement between implementors rather than
burning DNSSEC algorithm numbers for something that might not be used
in the end.

Because by the end of the experiment - what happens - do you return
those numbers to the pool?  Do you reuse them for different algorithm?
Allocating numbers for "public" experiments doesn't really make this
easier, but more murky.
