It's already there in RFC 2050:
3 a) the organization has no intention of connecting to
the Internet-either now or in the future-but it still
requires a globally unique IP address. The organization
should consider using reserved addresses from RFC1918.
If it is determined this is not possible, they can be
issued unique (if not Internet routable) IP addresses.

No.

ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AfriNIC, NRO
My company is one of several companies that operate
IP networks that are not part of the public Internet but
which do use globally unique registered IP addresses.
