And something else a lot of people tend to forget - just because space isn't in the tables doesn't mean it's not in use.
There are companies that connect to thousands of other companies (see the financial markets) that require unique addressing between companies with non-colliding address ranges. 10.x.x.x doesn't quite cut it.

An example covering this exact case: 9.0.0.0/8 is such a space, owned by IBM. Some illicit use documented at www.ris.ripe.net : 9.184.112.0/20 9.186.144.0/20 , both from AS 3786 (dacom.co.kr, bora.net) , since at least 2002/12/26. IBM confirmed the bogosity of these announcements on 04/07, the routes got withdrawn on 04/14.
