I am willing to support on the basis that there are plenty of other
ways to forge justification. Not allowing this proposal on that basis
does not serve any tangible result.  When we submit for additional
resources, a large percentage of our space is "Internal
Infrastructure." One could argue that we could abuse this and make our
entire space "Internal Infrastructure." The reality is that ARIN will
begin to ask questions if a large proportion of your space is
ambiguous and ask for more specific details.
