I may have put that badly (Friday afternoon and all) in my original
reply - that's exactly what I meant. It seems (as has now been
commented on by a few) that a /10 seems like an awful mightly lot of
addresses to do this, considering this space would exist 'betwen' the
CPE and the CGN (I hate that term).

Can you speak as to where the decision was made for the 2^22 address
requirement & reasons why this couldn't be done with multiple
VRF-style instances of existing public IP address space?
