yup.  but i do think the confusion is at least partly that the ncc
database does not make clear the differentiation between the the ncc
registry data and the less formal member data, kinda called the irr
elsewhere.

i think arin may be the only rir which still has clear separation; they
just run the registry and let the irr go loose.  and before one asserts
that is the cause of bad irr data in noam, note that afrinic, apnic, and
lacnic all mix the datasets and have sucky irr data; except for ocd
japan, of course.  i conject that irr maintenance is a cultural thing.
