Very interesting. I took a quick look at the introduction of the RFC.
So this
is a mechanism to use IP for local LAN communication without the need to
concern
ones self with the configuration issues required to speak to a global
community?
How does using RFC3927 differ from other address spaces like those
documented
in RFC1918 (192.168, 10. etc)?
1918 is for LAN communication, 3927 is for intra-host communication. It
is used frequently when used in conjunction with LVS, bridging, and
proxy arp. The RFC's are more guidelines and not technical limitations.
Thanks for entertaining my questions.

I notice that my SUSE 10 config puts a route to 169.254.0.0 netmask
255.255.0.0 - It is called link-local and I traced it to my /etc/sysconfig
- I can edit it out but why is it in there to begin with? I use the
192.168 network on a local lan.
169.254/16 is link-local space, used by zeroconf and the like. See RFC3927.
