As I have in the past been involved in a couple of such requests in the 
past I can add the arguments as I remember they were used then:
- we are going to connect to networks who are connected to other 
networks and some of them may be connected to the inthernet - thus the 
need for globaly unique adresses
- we may at some future point be connected to the internet.

In other works I think the definitions of "never" and of "the Internet" 
are important here.

Maybe its better to ask are you prepared to renumber your network when 
you connect to another network ?
