Speculative beats zero.

Unless you're planning to change ARIN's quarter-century practice of
risk aversion toward letting cases proceed to the point where a court
sets a precedent about the shape of the pre-ARIN registrants' rights?
I know Owen remembers how far ARIN bent in Microsoft/Nortel to reach
an agreement, any agreement, rather than let the court set precedent
with respect to what it could do with Nortel's legacy registration.
