VERS currently lacks types reserved for special use, similar to RFC 2606, Section 2, “TLDs for Testing”.
Motivation:
- A reserved example type is needed for documentation, so examples can be used without risking a collision with a real or future type registration
- A reserved invalid type would allow documentation and tests to represent values that are intentionally invalid
- A reserved test type is needed for test cases. Currently, a test might use some made-up "unknown-type", but this is not stable: the name could be registered in the future, changing the expected behavior of the test
Having these types reserved means we could use these types in a syntactically correct way for documentation and testing.
