And what happens if the legitimate owners of those already allocated
start advertising routes for them on the public Internet, or IANA
decides to release some of those not already allocated? Those NATs, if
single-NAT'ed, will find themselves unable to reach those resources.

In fact, I think I have seen some of those on the public Internet, I
could be wrong.
