as a user of the DB, though I see the theoretical beauty of your  
proposal, I would rather have a concise definition in the inetnum  
object status attribute than a heap of output that will take some time  
to make sense of, not to mention having to scroll back and forth just  
to see the answer to a simple question. So I prefer the proposal as it  
is in this respect.
