So the handle is deleted if it's only referenced in *this* (also deleted) certain object? And the handle itself (XY123-RIPE) will not be used again, right? Not much harm, but not needed, IMO. > I used to believe that high numbers in handles should be avoided and > handles could be re-used.

I think having a certain period of time will help sufficiently in this case. If a handle is *deleted*, half a year after its deletion there is no big risk, I would say. Since deletion will not happen if the handle is still referenced (!) and connecting a domain (DENIC) will not happen if the handle does not exist...
