Mike - 
 
  To be clear, we'll always maintain a state of uniqueness in registry
  entries, and parties following the registry will benefit as a result. 
  This does not inhibit you from configuring your routers with any IP
  addresses that you like, and the actual use of IP address blocks in 
  the Internet is not assured to be unique (particularly if parties are
  selling 'something' that doesn't involve changes to registry entries)

Thanks!
