is arin eng/ops happy/comfortable with this?  i.e. does arin ops/eng
feel that re-classifying a delegation as erroneous when any sub-zone
delegation is lame to be ill-advised?

you folk live too near to dc :)  using "lame delegations" in this way is
deliciously ambiguous.

lame delegations or lame delegations as currently defined?  i.e. you
have the needed ammo to deal with the problem as defined today, but are
not commenting on what could/should be defined?
