And indeed the latest APNIC stats file shows that they have made assignment=
s from their new /8s, presumably for this purpose:
apnic AP ipv4 1.0.0.0 256 20100122 assigned
apnic AP ipv4 1.1.1.0 256 20100122 assigned
apnic AP ipv4 1.2.3.0 256 20100122 assigned
apnic AP ipv4 1.50.0.0 1024 20100122 allocated
apnic AP ipv4 1.255.0.0 65536 20100122 allocated
apnic AP ipv4 27.0.0.0 256 20100122 assigned
apnic AP ipv4 27.50.0.0 1024 20100122 allocated
apnic AP ipv4 27.255.0.0 65536 20100122 allocated
