Re: I-D ACTION:draft-wilson-class-e-00.txt

What happened to draft-hain-1918bis-01, which tried to get more address 
space for private Internets, but expired back in 2005?

I see the point about regarding 240.0.0.0/4 as "tainted space" and 
therefore being less than useful on the public Internet.....
