hierarchical route objects, part 1

Gabor,

For a second lets assume that all the address registries did
maintainer delegation. It still does not work.

Say, I have 128.8/16, internic delegates me as the maintainer. You
have 128.9/16 and are delegated for it. Foo aggregates 128.9/16 and
128.8/16 into 128.8/15. But no entity allocated 128.8/15, so foo is
not delegated as the maintainer. You and I can not delegate foo either
since aggregation is a local foo matter. 0.0.0.0/0 route object will
prevent foo from registering 128.8/15.
