What is wrong with having addresses available for private use on networks that do not intend on being connected to the Internet? I suppose that if they are not going to be connected to the Internet, then really they could just use whatever space they feel like, since it should not affect any one else unless they do go to connect with other sites. Keith, do you have a draft or something you have been working on? For the most part I think that I do agree with your arguments against site-local addresses. What are your thoughts about link-local addresses? Do you want to get rid of all the local-use address space, which I suppose really means abandoning the idea of scoped addresses all together?
