I can sort of see the point in ULAs, although if you want a globally unique address, why not just use a public address?
Maybe you don't *want* a public address. In fact, I *know* sometimes you don't want one - because you *tell* us you don't:
I tend to pick out random /24s from 172.16/12 when I need private addresses. Virtually nobody uses those, which makes them most suitable.
Sounds to me like you've just re-invented the ULA for IPv4. This same usage case (plus the collision issue you mentioned) are *exactly* why ULA's were pushed...
