Amusingly enough, I personally (along with others) made arguments along
these lines back in 1995 or so when the IAB was coming out with
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1814.txt. Given the publication of 1814, you
can probably guess how far those arguments fared.
You missed the "anticipates external connectivity to the Internet" part.
Networks that never touch the internet have RFC1918 address space to use.
(and that works 99.999% of the time.)
I haven't looked recently but I believe all the RIRs have policies that
requires them to allocate unique numbers regardless of whether those
addresses will be used on the Internet, as long as the requester
documents appropriate utilization.
Per the wording of ARIN's policy, they require justification for such an
allocation. (i.e. a damn good reason 1918 addresses aren't going to work
for you.)
