Are they really overlapping allotments or just a demonstration of
reassignment?  i.e. They have 214.0.0.0/8, and they've decided to document
that 214.0.0.0/16 is reserved for some reason.  Is it really any stranger
than:

Internet Connect Company, Inc. (NETBLK-ICC-1) ICC-1
                                                 209.208.0.0 - 209.208.127.255
Havenet (NETBLK-HAVENET-ICC-4)  HAVENET-ICC-4    209.208.41.0 - 209.208.41.255
