And the fact is that enterprise network managers are very happy to have a class of addresses that cannot be globally routed and are filtered by default as bogons by all ISPs. So they just love RFC 1918 addresses for that, and hate them for their ambiguity (since that creates a mess when they have to be routed anyway, e.g. on VPNs). The main point of this draft, as far as I'm concerned, is to convey this requirement, which isn't met either by PA prefixes or the old SL prefix.
