As long as the system handles sending map-requests for non EID_block prefixes, and interpreting the negative and positive replies, then the overall complexity of the system isn't really changed by the EID_block's existence.  That doesn't mean that it is not a good idea to experiment with this allocation - or that some here-to-now unknown use case will see great benefit by the using the EID_block's assumptions.  I just think we should keep our expectations for the benefits of this block modest.
