I think ARIN's stance is they can update whois and issue reallocations/assignment information into whois based on their Legacy status. If they want to permanently give their space to someone else, documentation wise, the most they can do is allocate the entire space to the other person. They are still considered the primary holder and the only thing that makes it "permanent" is the contract signed between them and the other party. Given the reallocation, I'm sure the receiving party also can update whois. Jack
