I know that is the proposition. But if an address space is somehow set aside, we have no mechanism to enforce that only ISP use it. So we have to assume it will be used by whoever feels like it.

It is also important to avoid mistakes during the transition period from IPv4 to IPv6. I understand that many actors are anxious and waiting for some kind of fix. This is a common scenario for making substantial mistakes...
