be introduced either by a modification to this ZIP or by a new ZIP,
in accordance with the ZIP Process [#zip-0000]_.
Experimental types MAY be added using the reserved Typecodes
:math:`\mathtt{0xFFFA}` to :math:`\mathtt{0xFFFF}` inclusive. This
provides for six simultaneous experiments, which can be referred to
as experiments A to F. This should be sufficient because experiments
are expected to be reasonably short-term, and should otherwise be
either standardized in a ZIP (and allocated a Typecode outside this
reserved range) or discontinued.
