Bill, you are completely mixing up the things I guess. I am not talking
about 'dangers' but focusing on diversion of intent of what a special
pool was meant for just because a convenience. Don't understand why you
are insisting on this danger point and asking for prove something that
is not what is being put. Please re-read last 2 messages and focus on
the points about avoiding using special pool addresses for a propose
that was not meant for just because for a particular scenario is
convenient (IPv4 exhaustion).
I am not saying on any of them that something should or should not
happen because of a 'danger' but simply that the usage for these
addresses should stay well disciplined for its main propose - support
the emergence of IXPs by giving them addresses to use with their
internal infrastructure and to connect members in the LAN.

I agree that that is a hypothetical danger. There are lots of hypothetical
dangers. You’re proposing that we all collectively foot a cost to prevent a
hypothetical danger. Some hypothetical dangers are so potentially calamitous
or so likely to be realized that expenditure of resources, time, or money to
prevent them is well-warranted.
You have not demonstrated that this is imminent, likely, or calamitous.
If you wish to take a try at doing so, I’m sure we’d all be willing to consider
any argument you might put forward.
But you have not yet put forward any such argument. “Because someone could” is
not an argument.
