Kind of, but it is really a separate thing. If you make it in any way
related to 1918 then people will end up assigning it to networks that
include pre-definition end systems, even though this is known to fail. What
it has to be is its own version of a private-use that has limited
applicability to new Greenfield deployments that have absolutely no
expectation of including anything that exists today.
