It doesn't change the fact that the RIPE database doesn't reflect reality.
Adding ONE "ASSIGNED record, covering the entire range of addresses, stating
in text that these addresses are used for bla bla bla, and that you can
contact bla bla bla for actual information would make the RIPE database
consistent and remove uk.demon from the list I pressume.
I am sure that RIPE would ask Demon to maintain one record in the database
per IP#, but I'm also sure that RIPE would not be against adding one
record for the range. At least that is what they asked dk.cybercity to
do for similar usage.
