I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. There was some 
objection at the beginning of this thread by Wes George, Noel 
Chiappa, and Brian Carpenter. I agreed that the document 
could be misunderstood as encouraging the use of the space as 
1918 space and proposed some replacement text. There seemed 
to be some agreement around that text. Are you now objecting 
to that replacement text and want -14 published as is? Do you 
think the document should say that the new allocation can be 
used as 1918 space? If so, please explain.


On the first hand,  I do support draft-weil. I think I
understand the use cases enough to see that it *is* required,
especially for large MSO's, and potentially larger enterprises.


On the other hand, I can see the confusion regarding "using RFC-1918 space *for 
this purpose*"  vs  "use this space as *additional RFC-1918*.  The former just 
doesn't work due to
unmanaged overlap.   The latter *seems* like it should work,
but if you play it out until the first vendor starts releasing
equipment that uses it, you've now joined the first-case scenerio.

On the gripping hand, I hate the back-and-forth quibbling over the tiniest 
motes, hoping that the delays will just make the problem disappear...

So yes, lets please move this draft forward, with the text cleaning stating 
that it NOT be used as RFC-1918 space.
