not to be confused with the restraint of trade caused by TLD conflicts 
among all the eDNS folk.

what happens if i decide to advertise 6.0.0.0/8 to the world?  you think 
everyone would applaud me for freeing IP address space from the tyranical 
bonds of the evil IANA and its minion paul vixie, or would i be globally 
shunned for an action so obviously counter to the effective 
interoperation of all sections of the internet?

you are doing exactly the same thing and none of your sabre rattling or 
name calling will change that.
