I am still have 2 concerns with these concepts:
1. People do not want to register their secure internal network nodes (bank
central computes etc) so the "registered unique local addreses" may not meet
their needs. They do not want to have even theoritically reachable addresses
on a Cash machine or other secure node that needs to be connected as part of
the private network.

2. For the "approxiamtely" or "probably" unique local addresses I am
concerned that these addresses will eventually be assigned as part of the
registered addresses and can then be in conflict with "legitimate" nodes.

So between the 2, I do not see a solution that will work better than a
RFC1918 type of address space. The more I hear about these options the more
I want to bring back site local addresses.
