David,

I also suggest we need to distinguish between the following two
cases:

(a) registries will run out of unallocated addresses
(b) lack of available (and routable) addresses

(a) does not imply (b). For more details read RFC1744 ("Observations on 
the Management of the Internet Address Space") by G. Huston.
