Where can I find up-to-date documentation of the semantics of this value? The proposals in the ERX document don't match the actual practice (IMHO), so I wonder if there are different guidelines.
The most up-to-date is probably the "status:" draft document: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/status-attributes.html#databaseAlthough the document has not been (and will not be) moved to "real" RIPE document, the following currently applies:
"inetnum objects with a “status:” value of “EARLY-REGISTRATION” may only be created by RIPE Database administrators. More-specific inetnum objects added may only have a “status:” value of “ASSIGNED”."
As to what it means... these are objects that are imported during the ERX. They do not count against the 80% utilisation requirements for LIRs, and the RIPE NCC may not have ever had a relationship with the holders of the addresses. As such, in many ways they fall outside the ALLOCATED/ASSIGNED scheme that the rest of networks are in.
