This is very similar to the position we are in - we have obtained registered
addresses in the first instance (i.e. as a solution to an immediate problem)
to make interconnections to other companies' networks. However, we also
wished to have unique addresses for future direct Internet access, and made
this clear in our applications.
  
Having gone through the considerable hassle of setting up an enterprise
registry and renumbering our networks with registered addresses, we would
take a very dim view if we were then told that our addresses were then not
routable over the Internet at large!
