Please correct me if I'm wrong, but since when do exchange points route
their address space across the public internet? Exchange Points
petitioning ARIN under the micro-allocation policy are required to agree
*not* to route their IP address space across the public internet.

Exchange points need the ability to petition RIRs directly for address
space not for routability, but to ensure uniqueness.
