i have been fighting against this wrong-headed proposal for a couple of
years, since they first tried it in apnic, from which we sent them to
ietf.

it is a hack which perpetuates their kludge and does not help ipv6 one
little bit.  

they made the current mess and this just delays the inevitable and
they'll want some other silliness to bail them out next time.

the space will be immediately be used by others, and thus will defeat
the alleged purpose of giving them private space with which to stitch
together 1918 customers.

it will cement in and perpetuate the n-level ipv4 nat model.
