my interpretation of "portable", or not, is by the measure of whether one needs to renumber when changing providers.
By this definition, 1918 addresses are indeed "portable"someone explained to me privately that Robin's definition of "portable" is equivalent to PI prefixes.
To me a PI prefix has 2 separable meanings: globally uniqueness, and portability.
