Ok, this question just occurred to me...

NACS is going to need a new /19 pretty soon. But we have 13 Class C's
used for things like dialups, servers, web virtual hosts, etc. So how can
we explain our need for more addresses when much of our current /19 may appear
to be unused, since it isn't SWIP'd?

How do we record this for /24's which we use for internal purposes?

This is one possible solution.
