Nope - Not my point at all.
OK, I took your message the wrong way.
I do not disagree with ISP's using rfc1918 addresses for this type of thing. In fact it is probabily one of the best ways of doing it (I would like to have the option of using my OWN numbers though). The issue that I was raising was similar to the one raised by others on the list. Whenever you have multiple organisations sharing a network that uses rfc1918 numbers, there is a chance that they will conflict with the ones that you are running already internally.
Agreed. The notion of locally-unique address space would have some application in this respect - perhaps even with some kind of registry - but that's probably taking the idea too far. Maybe we will end up with something like that when we get stuck between full allocation of IPv4 addresses and the threat of IPv6.
