The first time I read your message, I assumed you did mean addresses out of
_the_ Private Network space (rfc1597).  After re-reading some of it in
padgett's (IMO correct) comments, I am not so sure.  

To even consider gatewaying to a "non-real" IP space, the numbers _must_ 
come from the Private Nets numbers, or else the gateway machine could get really,
really, confused. 

How many people routinely use the numbers from 1597 for heavily filtered
nets?  Does anyone?

Joe, asking that this tangential issue drop to personal responses.
