Specifically, RFC2008 says:
While it has never been explicitly stated that various Internet Registries use the "address ownership" allocation policy, it has always been assumed (and practiced).
That sentence, in particular the last five words of that sentence, are extremely important. 10+ years of a given practice and set of operating rules cannot be overturned by fiat.
One might notice that these words were written in an RFC. Not in a law book. They have all of the legal weight of a Jim Flem-o-gram. Tony
