Hi,

A LIR is something different from "just a network service provider".

Actually, a LIR is pretty well-defined (as is RIR), and maybe some effort
should be invested to use *that* terminology world-wide, instead of 
inventing new terms for everything to completely confuse matters.

Ditto for ALLOCATED and ASSIGNED - renaming those doesn't really solve
anything (and overlooks the multi-hierarchy problem Robert has already
mentioned).

We would need at least "DELEGATED-TO-LIR", "SUB-DELEGATED", and 
"ASSIGNED-TO-USER", but again I see no significant improvement as compared
to (well-documented) "ALLOCATED", "SUB-ALLOCATED" and "ASSIGNED" values.
