No, I don't believe they'll do it correctly.  I was just wondering why
they'd chose to do it the "national allocation" way when good arguments
are presented that it'd only disrupt things.  I thought they may have a
good reason, but evidently it's just not true.  It's just more
bureaucratic ignorance of what is being legislated.  I'll just start
reading the site's info before resopnding further.  I thought someone here
might point me in a direction where I could get to the info faster.

I replied to the list as IP addressing is so central to network operations
and the 2 references were also posted here.  I may have made a mistake.  I
know how these things slide off topic faster than a greased pig on a
plastic sheet on a steep hillside.  ;-)
