I don't think that an exception should be made for microallocations at all. To paraphrase what ARIN says, there is no guarantee that address space that they assign will be globally routable.

You should note that that also goes for the rest of the allocations. 69/8 in IPv4 anyone ? :)

The alloocations I have seen have problems out of 69/8 were not micro-allocations. They were /19's and /18's. I'm sure that there are a few /20's in there with a token /24 perhaps but, the ones I have knowledge of were _real_ allocations and not micro-allocations.

Yes, but what I meant is the fact that a RIR can't possibly guarantee routability of a prefix. Which was the case seen with 69/8. Even then if a big transit doesn't want to carry your prefix for $reason it won't be reachable either ;) Greets, Jeroen
