Borrowing from wikipedia: "IANA was established informally as a
reference to various technical functions for the ARPANET, that Jon
Postel and Joyce K. Reynolds performed at UCLA and at the University
of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute."

Informally. As in not under specific contractual authority. Someone
needed to do it so Jon stepped up. Later on it was formalized.

Unless you actually want to limit the definition of legacy addresses
to those issues between the SRI NIC to the NSI InterNIC, be *less*
specific here with a catchall.

What about stuff like the Kremen addresses?
