you don't need to justify anything to get your /21 Allocation if you 
become a LIR. It's an ALLOCATION, not an ASSIGNMENT. Don't always mix 
those two up, totally different things.

It's way more simple than requesting PI Assignments if you are a an 
ISP/Provider yourself.

LIR with PA Allocations == Provider/ISPs
Customer with PI Assignments == Endusers, not distributing IP space to 
3rd parties

If your customer is not an enduser but got customers themselves, they 
should become LIR on their own behalf.

I actually don't see the problem. But of course things can be changed, 
the policy process is open.
