The problem I have with that view is that although it is accurate, it is also bascially not explained. For charter reasons, we left out any explanation of the private spaces, other than putting in the hook for instance-ID.

So, yes, as long as all of the users of a given mapping system and given instance ID use 10/ space in a consistent fashion for allocating IDs, it will work. But I don't see how a reader could understand that from the document.

By the way, it is interesting that Ari thought the EIDs would come out of 10/8 
space. That is obviously wrong, but maybe this misunderstanding gives us a 
datapoint on the issue that I raised earlier about using the 10/8 addresses in 
examples.

Ah, but they could. That is the point. Since they are not injected in the core, 
an EID-prefix in 10/8 space can be made unique to both the mapping database and 
the data-plane core by coupling it with an instance-ID. And the instance-ID 
need only be unique *per mapping database system*.
