I also believe in the RIPE-NCC to be able to distinguish between enterprises that might request a status of an IXP. It all depends of the policy and conditions. This is very simple. Have a lock at the peering matrix and you can distinguish between a enterprise and an IXP (or am i wrong here?).
Well the fears are probably not concerning existing IXPs. The fear is that setting up an (fake) IXP becomes a way to get independent address space. Naturally, we do not want to create a chicken and egg situation when you limit "IXP-space" to well established IXPs only. Arien
