not to be confused with the restraint of trade caused by TLD conflicts 
among all the eDNS folk.

what happens if i decide to advertise 6.0.0.0/8 to the world?  you think 
everyone would applaud me for freeing IP address space from the tyranical 
bonds of the evil IANA and its minion paul vixie, or would i be globally 
shunned for an action so obviously counter to the effective

you are doing exactly the same thing and none of your sabre rattling or 
name calling will change that.
