Nobody with PI space would voluntarily trade it for PA space; that makes no
sense.

If someone has a PI prefix, the damage (to the routing tables) has been done
and increasing the size of said PI allocation does no harm.  FWIW, I
required at least one PI block in each trade-in specifically to prevent a
generic PA-to-PI loophole.

I'm really not trying to be a nuisance since I'm in favor of this policy,
but I'm looking at http://www.arin.net/policy/2002_6.html, and I don't see
any mention of what paperwork is (or more importantly, isn't) required to
qualify.
