Well, you can always do what one of the companies I work with does:
allocate from 42.0.0.0/8 for networks that might need to interoperate
with 1918 space and hope that it is "forever" before we run so low on
IPv4 space that 42.0.0.0/8 needs to be taken out of reserved status.
How many more weeks is "forever" now?
