Hi,

From what I understood reading Nuranis document and also discussing this
at the LIR-WG session, there seems to be desire to move this further:

 * documentation, as in your proposal

 * and also do "hierarchical allocation", which will affect the 80% usage
   rule (imagine a LIR with many sub-allocations that tries to achieve
   internal aggregation - this will nearly automatically clash with 
   the conservation goal).

So there is a policy aspect involved, which the LIR-PARTITIONED proposal
doesn't cover, but which seems to be desired.
