I tend to agree w/ Randy.. it's time and money better spent focusing our efforts on supporting 4byte ASN (and v6 for that matter) Attempts at recovering 2byte ASN's (and v4 space..) are short term solutions, at best extend the 'free pool' for a short and unpredictable period of time, while incurring more headache, expense, and arguing, than working toward supporting the inevitable.
