It would apply to experimental work which required Internet Resources. For 
example, IPv6 experimental networks, the 4 byte AS transition, or any other 
experiment which the IETF (or other standards organisation) wishes to 
undertake. I think that point was explained in the paper.

It's hard to give examples of future things we don't know about. The basic 
premise of the proposal is that the registry system should be handling all 
Internet Resource allocations and assignments (given that they handle the 
routable Internet Resource assignments within their system at the moment).

I've never heard of APNIC assigning any Internet Resources for time-limited 
experiments. They have no policy to do that, as far as I know. Do you have 
examples - that would be useful for completeness sake. It's possible to get 
a temporary assignment for a conference. APRICOT 2002 was such an example - 
we received temporary IPv4 and IPv6 address space, and an ASN for the 
conference; those resources were returned at the end of the conference.

Hope this makes more sense,
