We allocate ipv4 addresses today presumably, which implies the existence
of business logic in basically all isps that accounts for the hierarchic
allocation of 32 bit numbers.

A brief cruise over to

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml

Reveals a pool of  at least 28 bits (a /4 in ipv4 land) worth of 32bit
numbers that will never overlap with ipv4 unicast address assignments
that you traditionally use for router-ids. embedding those in family iso
addresses if you like seems harmless and you'll never accidentally
configure one as a unicast address on an interface. it'll be a little
while before I need 268 million bgp speaking routers in the same AS.
