What happened to draft-hain-1918bis-01, which tried to get more

I see the point about regarding 240.0.0.0/4 as "tainted space"
and therefore being less than useful on the public Internet.....
RFC 3330 listed as not currently part of the public Internet:
0.0.0.0/8 "this" 16,777,216
10.0.0.0/8 "private" 16,777,216
127.0.0.0/8 "loopback" 16,777,216
169.254.0.0/16 "link-local" 65,536
172.16.0.0/12 "private" 1,048,576
192.0.2.0/24 "test-net" 256
192.168.0.0/16 "private" 65,536
192.18.0.0/15 "benchmark" 131,072
224.0.0.0/4 "multicast" 268,435,456
This is simply wrong. Multicast is certainly part of the public
Internet, it is certainly used on the
public Internet and (I might point out) people (including yours
truly) make money from it.
You are right. Indeed Multicast is part of the public Internet. The
concern has been with respect to availability of general purpose
public IP addresses, where multicast would be excluded as would
private IP addresses. This should have read "not currently part of
the 'general use' public Internet."
