Thomas, all,
I'd welcome discussion/feedback on it, and this list seems as good a place as any.

This is nit-picking, but for the sake of clarity:
2.7. Utilization
In IPv4, the utilization of a chunk of address space is defined as the ratio of the actual number of host assignments to the theoretical maximum number of host assignments. For example, a /24 in IPv4 can number 256 hosts [...]
A /24 can't number 256 hosts; it can number 254.
Well, for the purposes of this draft, it's probably best to understand how the RIRs themselves measure utilization. Surely, they just count the raw numbers and don't try to exclude broadcast addresses and such. Thomas
