    Hi Philip et al,

    I was wondering for a while what I should do with this BGP feed of
    unallocated prefixes ...  Now, after Philip has made it clear, why
    aren't we simply putting those prefixes in the IRRs (e.g. as a route-set, 
    or simply as routes with a specific/reserved origin-AS) and let
    interested ISPs use their usual (RA)toolset to build filters at their
    regular schedules ?

    I wouldn't like this either, but that's a different story ;-)
