Karl,

Actually, there's every reason to believe that if you have space from prior
to the adoption of RFC2008 and 2050 you indeed do have something which is
(1) property, and (2) valuable if someone is willing to pay you for it.

As has been demonstrated repeatedly on this list and elsewhere, there are
people who place not-insignificant value on addresses.  The pragmatic among
us would probably argue that even after 2008/2050 or any other
pronouncement by any involved party, address space has value and in fact
has had and will have value as long as it provides an opportunity for a
service that has value.  Arguments to the contrary are approximately
equivalent to arguing the tide should not come in 'cause it messes up our
nice sand castles.

Regards,
-drc
