How, exactly, did the IRS manage to get a direct allocation from ARIN?  Did 
they somehow qualify as an LIR?  Did they snow the staffers?  Did the US 
Govt put some sort of pressure on ARIN?

If end sites like the IRS can get direct allocations today, perhaps all this 
discussion about PI space is moot and we don't need 2005-1 et al.
