the definition is one of local interpretation, per ISP.
So if you define "swamp space" as 192/8 thru 205/8, then
you are accurate, as far as you are concerned. Others will
have divergent views and definitions.
the term came into use roughly the same time as the term
"tier-x" emerged as a classification for ISPs.
Check the CIDR wg archives and the NANOG mailing archives
roughly 1996-1998 for more detail.
