Re: IP network address assignments/allocations information?

Well now, I think you are mis-interpreting the text. Remember that it was written 
a number of years before ARP was invented. It refers to "mapping" and "translating"
apparently synonymously and I have always read that to mean ARPing and the like.
In any case this is not an issue by the time you get to RFC 791 a few years later.
