addresses aren't available on an IRU basis.  don't call this a red herring
while RFC 2050 and all of the RIR contracts and bylaws all say that addresses
aren't assets, aren't transferrable, and are only made available on the basis
of "need to connect".  if you want to convert this to a red herring, then i
suggest we talk about ways to do that, rather than declaring it to be so.
