Over a decade ago, when RFC 1918 was being discussed, I suggested that it might make more sense to use the address space reserved
by RFC 1918 for the Public Internet and use the remainder of the address space for internal networking purposes.
Invert the RFC 1918 model.   This sounds like a others are finally coming around to this idea, but are only looking at it in a piecewise, incremental
fashion.
