One of my humble idea for a 1918 revision is to create a
new category of private IP address for extranet backbone
networks.
JPNIC had sometimes had a inquery for a global IP address
block, which is not for a connection to the global Internet,
but just connecting a number of leaf sites with arbitrarily
assigned RFC1918 address blocks.
For this purpose it would be great if one portion of private
address, say a /8, is classified as different level of private
IP address and handled carefully not to be used in a leaf site,
I still need to have a careful look at that I-D, but do you
think this idea is relevent with that discussion?
It is related to the discussion yes but what you suggest would go one step
further, since the draft does not go as far as specifying an actual
purposes for the address space that is set aside. It merely discusses the
reasons and suggests an amount of space.

| Dear colleagues,
|
| This new Internet draft, posted last week may be of interest to
| readers on this list.
|
| The draft proposes 3 new '1918' spaces in IPv4, each a /8 in size, to
| supplement the existing private address space.
|
| Follow up discussion has taken place on the IETF list, details of
| which can be found at:

| a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
| exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with

| up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
| how to manipulate these messages.
