Yep.  The traditional anti-RIR shopping rule is unpublished.  It's a common 
sense rule that the RIRs applied for many years to deal with RIR shoppers and 
to deal with international backbones.  Once APNIC ran out, however, chaos 
entered into the equation.  Hence where I believe we are today.

David,

I am not referencing policy, but the auto-template ARIN sent me during our last 
resource request explicitly stated no out of region use which forced us to 
register as RIPE LIR for a single out of country POP.

Thanks, Jeff
