Now for enterprises embedding semantics in the address plan is quite common and makes a lot of sense. It saves a lot of maintenance work when maintaining firewall policies etc. It's one of the options I described in the addressing plan document [1] I wrote for SURFnet in 2010. Part of that document was based on experiences at the University of Twente.
