[arin-ppml] Alternative to arbitrary transfers

[Dave Mohler]

I'm attracted to some aspects of this approach.

Is it important for a particular set of addresses to be transferred from Org A to Org B?

It could be written to allow Org A to return addresses x/NN and ARIN reserves and eventually reassigns a different y/NN to Org B.  ARIN could use this technique if they develop some strategy to achieve (or just happen to stumble across) a situation where x/NN could be aggregated with adjacent space.
