An assignment done by directly RIR from a non-routed block. Nothing
very special or warranting a special attribute value for it, IMHO.

Which are portable assignments? I can only possibly see IX assignments
and the root server block.

A block from which non-portable addresses are assigned or allocated by
the LIR, thus "ALLOCATED NON-PORTABLE".
Which "ALLOCATED PORTABLE" blocks do you see?
How would you distinguish an allocation from RIR to LIR from that of a
LIR to some provider ("NLA")?
