Yes, that's what I said in my posting.  A Navy (NCIS) guy told me that
this happens frequently, and that when he calls people on it, many of
them are like "Wait... WHAT?  My friend told me that I could just use
this unrouted space!  Everybody else does."

Some days, the level of idiocy and incompetence in this business is truly
breathtaking.

I agree.  However it is my belief that the authors of the proposal under
discussion (266) intended that it should, if adopeted, have applicability
to -both- hijacks and also what we know as squatting.

But I should let them speak for themselves with regards to this.
