That and isn't the IETF the right venue to carve out a specific from

I suppose APNIC could throw it back to IANA (maybe? not sure how an
RIR can throw a /24 back to IANA -- perhaps that needs a global policy
too?)
I don't want to comment on which venue is appropriate. However, I can
report that we have some experience with this kind of thing based on
ARIN-prop-154, which ended up with RFC 6598. In that case, ARIN made a /10
available and we registered it in the IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address
Registry when the draft was approved. The implementation of things like
this is generally not a problem.
