But all that going via the TI route gives you is a "mnt-by: TI" entry in 
your object.  There are other non-RIPE ways for teams to infer how much 
trust they should give to another team, and overloading mnt-by seems 
undesirable.

Some useful changes would be renaming the IRT object to something more 
general, like Abuse (?) object and for it to be returned by default when 
querying an IP (or AS).

The seperation into an easily maintainable object which includes stuff 
in addition to email address (like postal address, pgp and phone) are 
useful enhancements to "trouble:".
