another thing I noted is that the list of anomalies includes entries like

	193.110.139.0/24 as24637 24637

In these cases the origin field in the RIPE IRR has "AS" in lower case.

Although not large enough in number to change the order of magnitude of
the anomalies, it does translate to 1750 additional route objects with
a correct origin.
