Actually this is an interesting side track, so I'll bite - "enforcable 
contract between *which* two parties"?

Especially for "legacy" assignments, done by InterNIC to a company that
has been sold and bought 5 times in the meantime...

For PA assignments being done under the current RIR system, I agree with 
you.  For PI assignments in the RIPE region (dunno about other regions), 
it's less clear, because no contracts exist between RIPE NCC and the address
holder...
