Re: [address-policy-wg] 2006-05 New Policy Proposal (PI Assignment Size)

But this is nothing special imho,
the very same statement holds true for any space that as yet hadn't been
"in use" at all.

Bottom line: if there isn't a record to properly docment assignment to an end
site, then the use or routing of that address space is at least vey, very,
questionable(1).

But if you don't double-check - you'll never know ;-)

(1) announcement of a full PA allocation as one route, covering as yet unassigned
    space, is an exception to this rule.
