Not really, that disables 'locally administered' addresses. If a vendor
has used the same address on lots of cards it could easily be a 'real' address.

Not only that, there certainly used to be manufacturers that used 'locally
administered' addresses on all their cards (as well as those that used unallocated
address blocks).
Not to mention the bit-revered addresses....
