I would support Paul proposal, but with one small change. Paul proposes
a delegation hierarchy in the ULA-C space:

> >       +--------+-+----------+---------+---------+----------+

That is fine, but I would rather call the delegation field by a
different name than "RIR Num". Call in it RIR assumes that the numbers
can only be allocated by the current set of regional registries. I don't
see any technical reason to carve this policy in a standard. I would
much prefer a neutral designation, e.g. "Registry Number".
