1:: ? I hope you meant what other people proposed as 2002::10.x.x.x which is just a direct map of IPv4's RFC1918 space of which 10/8 is one of them. > > This is a bigger problem.

Why would those become routable all of a sudden? Better ask where boxes would actually route these as there really are no routing entries to these places because there are numberous organizations and individuals using this space.
