I disagree, this is just the same kind of "ancient uptodate
information" which makes people insist they get a C class worth of
addresses for their firewall.

But it would help of course, if somebody would write a document
and stick it on the RIPE webserver saying "this is why you have to
run http 1.1" and another one saying "this is why you only get the
addresses you can prove you need" which ISPs could point such
customers at to take the air out of the "...or somebody else will
get my business!" argument.
