> We have used internally much of these private networks
Really?  Wow, that's a lot of IP addresses ~(2**24 + 2**20 + 2**16) Fewer 
of course with subnetting, but still ...

>> There are three reserved address spaces in RFC 1918 (192.168.x.x, 
172.12.x.x, and 10.x.x.x).
So there's even more - 172.16 is a /12 subnet so it goes up to 172.31. 
>From the RFC David mentions:

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
   following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

     10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
     172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
     192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

I too would stay away from 14.
