According to the language of RFC 2050, points 1 and 3 contradict
each other. If an organization requires addresses for 
interconnecting with other networks, then they are NOT a
private network. Internetworks that do not connect to the
public Internet are still require globally unique addresses
for each of the participating networks.

In the IPv4 world there are several such non-public internetworks
which can connect thousands of organisations and I expect this
to also happen in the IPv6 world.
