Allow me: It is silly to attempt to use only a single registry-of-origin from the IRR mesh. If reading specifications is too difficult, a cursory reading of just the irr.net website shows how ridiculous such an implementation would be. Given the system is designed to be distributed, only eating a single origin is pointless. All that said, it is not uncommon for a provider who operates a proper routing registry to force all but the demonstrably clueful customers into theirs.
