Perhaps IANA could set up reverses for those networks to discourage people
from using them? I would guess that a few reverses with names like
192-168-1-1.danger.stupid.idiot.network.admin in a traceroute would
quickly sort things out.

One of the companies we work with has 192.168 address for some of the
radius servers we have to talk to, we are directly connected to them so
it's not a big pain but it's just so ugly.
