One thing the registries do to help avoid that problem is allocate half a block (say, half an /18) and reserve the rest. If the rest is not claimed later, it is reassigned. Maybe that should be even more the standard practice. There is nothing to lose in allocating in the order .0, .128, .64, .192, .32, .96, .160, .224 instead of .0, .32, .64, .96, .128, .160, .192, .224. -Phil
