I would like to contidict your statement of "not a Really Optimal Solution" and state that it is a really good solution. The value of a uniques address is its routability. For purely transit links what does it matter? Using an RFC 1918 net for your internal network is a good move for providers to provide transit. It provides great flexibilty in your numbering options and as long as you don't leak your IGRP routes your AS the only thing it effects is traceroutes.
On top of that, it makes the InterNIC (or insert your favorite address space allocation body here) very happy to know that you are trying to stretch your existing address space as far as possible when going to ask for more.
