Good point.  I'm probably going to be one of those leaf nodes that will be
able to get away with running all MW activity off the one 10.10.x.x IP
address.  I don't intend allowing general LAN access, so the one IP address
should be sufficient.  OTOH, I may need to be able to route through to my
main firewall, which would mean I require a /28.  In any case, I think it's
fair I should justify my allocation if I apply for one.

Of course, I will be running a /48 on IPv6, of which at least part will be
accessible from wireless (at least until MW gets its own IPv6 allocation).
