Unless I miss something, the proposal is not at all to add a 4th prefix to the 3 of RFC1918.
It is only that one /8 be neither in the global address space nor in the private address space of RFC 1918. 
Thus, ISPs can use it in place of the 10/8 they use today, and thus eliminate conflicts with some of the customer sites that use 10/8.
One /8 is necessary AND SUFFICIENT to do this.
