ISPs in countries with large user bases, and insufficient IPv4 
addresses, are already doing that.  Or Provider-NAT (ie, the whole path 
to an ISP NAT gateway is RFC1918...).  With some sort of application 
gateway, NAT, 6to4 translator, etc, at the edge.

The net result breaks even more IPv4-end-to-end assumptions than using 
RFC1918 addresses for router linknets.  Not to mention takes more work.

Ewen (who expects to still be using IPv4 in 10 years time, but does hope 
to be calling it "Legacy IP" by that point)
