Address space for individuals

Erik-Jan
        I have heard of similar cases, usually involving
individuals or very small businesses.  The potential demand
is alarming.  

At a macro level, the Internet is becoming classless and
terms like "Class C" will soon be politically incorrect.
However, we're dealing with the micro level, where the
application code doesn't know about these new developments.
So the smallest unit we can assign is 8 bits of address
space.  Is there any prospect that this might change?
