I am reasonably certain that to answer Nick's original question: there
is an assumption that RIPE NCC members will be operating in the RIPE NCC
service region but that there are no strictures on where they announce
prefixes or what size, colour or creed such prefixes should be. From a
purely pragmatic point of  view this would be a nightmare to police and
I can do without any further nightmares.
