just a minor point, it is Provider AGGREGATABLE, not AGGREGATED. It  
describes a possibility not a fact.
If I understand the original mail correctly, the requester was trying  
to do the right thing, that is, after following the "become an LIR"  
mantra and gettting the address space as requested, the LIR is now  
being told they can't assign the addresses they got and must instead  
get more address space in order to split it (?!?!?!). If this is so (I  
am not sure it is, it is just how I read the mail) it seems to be  
counterintuitive to say the least, counterproductive towards  
conservation if correctly interpreted.
