I agree. The importance of it being assigned by an authority is that that authority provides uniqueness. This is often important when an address collision occurs, such that one entity can prove they have the legitmate claim to use those numbers. Although these addresses may be used "internally" it is also important that they be capable to be supported by DNS (without setting up a split-horrizon DNS), for ease of management __Jason
