Yeah, I'm aware of that - but it's complicated, and needs a lot of 
queries.   The alloclist nicely groups these under the RegID (which
I can't get seem out of the RIPE DB at all, if I look at our objects).

Now, while this sounds nice, it doesn't work.  inetnum and autnum
objects do have an org: attribute, and it is actually enforced upon 
registration by the hostmasters - but it will point to the *holder*
of the object, not to the sponsoring LIR.

I'm not claiming that it's there today (or that it actually *should*
be there, given that Nick's initial mail was a request "for the NCC to 
examine..."), I'm just challenging Alex' claim that it can be done today...
