To me, this assumes facts not in evidence.

Namely:

	1.	It assumes people who realize that there is no valid market
		for their address space will still refuse to return it for recycling.

	2.	It assumes that Markets will significantly increase the amount
		of address space that is returned.

	3.	It assumes that the RIRs will not be able to issue any
		returned space after free pool exhaustion.

I am not convinced any of those three things are true.  Therefore,
I am not convinced that the choices are the only ones available
to us.
