   I'd have to check the text to answer that to the point, but there
   certainly is/was a general mindset when the policy was developed that
   address blocks should only be available for use on the "global
   Internet". Your definition of "global Internet" might vary ;-)

   And this general mindset keeps popping up again and again when people
   try to devise "automatic" mechanisms to detect victims for resource
   reclamation.

   And by cluelessly looking at the "global" routing table this would
   certainly be a case for pointing fingers at them, and claiming that
   they didn't start deployment of IPv6 :-)
