I was arguing that as the LIRs are the ones that (in the majority of  
the cases) submit the data to the RIPE DB, and more often are also  
listed instead of their customers (DSL blocks), and they have a  
documented relationship with the NCC, proving the identity of the LIR  
will help (partly) securing the trail to the owner of and allocated  
addressblock. In asking for the papers this does help the NCC to  
establish that trail. Which I believe is a good thing.
