Most point-to-point (WAN) links are an inconvenience that you wish could be made invisible but need addresses, so why not use "invisible" RFC 1918 addresses for them? Of course, there's a huge "opportunity" to stuff things up monumentally by advertising routing for these links (which would attract rubbish from all over the place), and it's a huge inconvenience for those that want to do what Chris has done and plug the link straight into his firewall.
