In the 'classful' world, neither the /12 or the /16 spaces were referencible
as a single object. Correct 'classful descriptions' would have been:
"16 contiguous Class 'B's" "256 contiguous Class 'C's"

Fine.  But I think you're going to fine that synechdoche triumphs here, and
a Class-C *Sized* network is going to be called that, even if it's first 
octet is 191 or lower, Robert.
