Looks like a double standard to me... The same argument could be placed for any subnet not on an 8,16, or 24 bit bound.
Yes and no. Technical limitations in things like in-addr name service make moving things with any boundary in the last byte very difficult, but things with any boundary before it possible (and a boundary on a byte much easier).
But there are ways to do this -now-. Folks are just not willing to do it. (Ever look at how TPC.INT works? How about NSAP in-addrs?) Look, the in-addr argument is just that. -- --bill
