Given the premise for their existence is RIRs/RFC2050 are not applicable to
their users, I don't think ARIN support makes much sense.

WIANA's web site states their 1/8 addresses aren't reachable from the public
Internet, therefore they have no functional reason to pay RIR allocation
fees.  I am very doubtful they could get an allocation from IANA directly
without IETF/ISOC support for their experiment.
