I agree.
And that identification of a prefix holder comes from the entity
that allocated the prefix.
I agree, however I believe it is important that the ???entity that
allocated the prefix??? should not be in a position to unilaterally make
the prefix unroutable by the prefix holder after the allocation is
complete.
I have heard many complaints from ISPs about former customers who refuse
to return allocated address space. For those, I believe that a way to
un-do an allocation and to make the prefix unroutable (at least to the
former customer) would be desireable. Are you implying that you don't
think that should be allowed?
Your phrase "after the allocation is complete" seems to view address
allocation as a permanent transfer. That is not current reality for PA
space - are you advocating that it should be?
