Normally I'm rather loathe to send urls around - but in this case you may
find this APNIC work directly relevant to what you are asking for:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-51/presentations/pdf/ripe51-address-certificate.pdf
I also did some work a year or so back on the differences between announced
vs allocated prefixes.
http://www.potaroo.net/presentations/2004-05-01-allocation-vs-announcement.pdf
At the time (May 2004) it appeared that the message was getting through and
the fragmentation of allocations was decreasing. I have not re-reun the
scripts recently to confirm if this is wtill the case.

Or at least provide a database that is signed so that people can check
what is getting announced vs what was really allocated at least off
line.

ARIN will not step in here. They allocate resources, they do
not police or enforce those resources.
