Nick - 

  Actually, it is unclear if there is indeed any ambiguity in the ARIN inter-RIR 
  transfer policy, but regardless, the following statement that I made above _is_ 
  a formal clarification - 

  "ARIN's policies only apply to number resources that are contained 
   within in the ARIN registry."

  What follows is prefaced by "To the best of my knowledge" simply because
  it reflects my belief that other RIRs also do apply their policies to 
  resources within their registry (something over which neither ARIN nor 
  I have any control...)

I hope this helps; please let me know if any further clarification is needed.

Thanks!
