As co author of the current abuse-c I have been saying for years that I 
agree with you. There are problems that were not foreseen with the 
original design. Adding abuse-c to the resource objects is one way to 
fix it, but there are also other (better/worse) options. These have been 
discussed several times but no one ever agrees or makes a decision. It 
is like the out of region ROUTE objects. We keep having the same 
discussion, consider the same options and never make a decision.

Maybe it is a task for the new chairs of the DB WG to bring some of 
these issues to a conclusion.
