Yes, I believe they were. I seem to recall the author mentioning this.
There also aren't going to be 256 new IX's in North America in three
years, if ever.  The /16 was intended to cover a variety of CI needs
as defined in 4.4. gTLD's fit into that definition which is explicit
there and here.

/23 is a worst case. We could go with a single /24. Some are likely to
be consolidated. Running that number, a /15 might cover most of what
will be needed.
