If RIRs want to claim their allocations aren't guaranteed to be routable,
that must mean they are willing to make allocations for non-routed use.
Furthermore, there is nothing in the ARIN allocation policies requiring a
member to actually announce all of his allocations on the public Internet.

You're welcome to propose new RIR policies, but the reality today is that
globally unique addresses can be and are allocated for private use.
