It is envisioned that this market is going to happen, whether we like it or not, and there is not much we can do against it.
But in the case that this *is* going to happen, we would very much prefer to have accurate records on who is holding the address space - and this proposal is trying to build the basis for this.
Once it becomes possible to sell address space we can kiss any chance of any of the legacy space coming back goodbye. Even the slightest step in this direction can be very harmful. I don't see the need to make things easier for people who do things that they aren't supposed to do. If I "lend" some of my address space to someone else, why should I be spared the inconvencience of being contacted when an issue comes up with the use of that space? Presumably, I remember who I lended the address space to, and if not, it's hard to hide in the routing table.
