      Can someone please explain why it is useful to record this?
      Seems that this info might get outdated quickly as it isn't
      related to the domain _name_.
      
   => there is a loose binding between names and addresses.
   This attribute can be used if someone'd like to describe it.
   This attribute has been made optional then you use it only
   if you like.
==>I see a potential usage for this :
In order to avoid spoiling network numbers we ask organisations, when
asking for more numbers, what network have already been allocated to
them. In case the answer is incomplete thunder from RIPE-NCC will occur.
This might well be the place to keep this information.

The fact that network allocation is done on a per-provider basis (who
do not interact together) makes it impossible for you (you, as an ISP) when 
queried for some number to know weither is it "some" or "more" and weither
RIPE criterai are enforced or grossly violated.
