I may be wrong, but this seems to be quite a substantial shift away from v1
and v2.  The previous two versions completely removed any requirement for
stated intent, but this change would partially bring it back.  This isn't a
complaint, btw - just an observation.

As an aside, I don't think it will make too much practical difference
whether this statement is included or not, at least from the point of view
of speculation.  The language is vague enough that any respectable lawyer
could easily side-step it.  If the intent is to ensure that the LIR
transferee makes the assignments, then the language could be tightened up.
