Peter and all,

  Yep this is and will be a problem.  So than they need to apply for
additional private space again and hope it hasn't been put in other
routing tables, or seek a different solution.  FWIW, I can acquire
plenty of IPv8 private space that I am very sure isn't in anyones
public routing tables.  Of course the price is VERY reasonable
as well!  >:)  Routes great on any VPN as well...  And amazingly
enough those businesses won't have any ICANN, ASO, Ripe,
ARIN, APNIC, of AFNIC worries to boot.  >:)  Additionally,
encaptulates IPv4 public IP's and IPv6 IP's seamlessly.  >:)

  With the passing of FISA, I'm getting quite a few new discrete
inquiries...

  So all is not lost, just changing...  Ya just can't stop progress, slow it
down maybe, but never stop it...
