What about this?
Genius from company A chooses public IP block A.
Genius from company B chooses public IP block A.
Genius collision detected...
That's pretty nasty.
However this should be able to mitigate some of the ugly scenarios
brought up in this thread:

Mind you, proper due-diligence could avoid most of these, and/or
companies not all choosing to use the default 192.168.{0,1}.0/24 that
their SOHO Netgear/Linksys router ships configured with.

Compare this with company A and B both using overlapping part of for
instance 192.168.0.0/16, and then merging. Conflict ensues, renumbering
or NATs required in order to connect the networks.
