The plan is to allocate 32-bit blocks to RIRs as a continuous range. That's why 
APNIC starts at 131072, RIPE NCC at 196608, LACNIC at 262144 and so on. We are 
likely to be retired or dead by the time APNIC needs 196607. So it is unlikely 
that we will see allocations to RIRs from the 65552-131071 range for a very 
long time, if ever as the same pattern can start again until we hit 4199999999.

Numbers from the 65552-131071 range are only likely to be assigned for some 
other reason, based on the IANA Considerations section in an RFC.

Leo
