I think it would certainly be useful, both diagnostically and operationally, for IANA and the RIR's to *actually announce* the unused space, and run either or both of tar-pits and honey-pots on those, for just such a reason - to gauge problems that might exist on "unused" space, *before* the space is assigned.
And, it'd be nice if there were a check-box for "I volunteer for the pain". In the movies, where something bad can happen and they draw straws, it is almost always drawing straws from among volunteers.
*heh* And there's always going to be a set of normally-outbound-heavy networks that would *love* to get more inbound traffic by hosting honeypots for tainted networks...so there's one set of hands ready and waiting to shoot up the minute you need volunteers for your tar-pits and honey-pots. Matt
