A nice idea, but with all of the talk about address spacing becoming
hard to find, the idea of re-using 10 as a Class A, or splitting it into
256 class B's needs to be considered.  That's a lot of new customers
for Internet.  Consider that net is over 65535 class C spaces!  Do we
want to give Interop 16x10^6 addresses!
