That is exactly the issue, to get at stale delegations, and stale 
POCs are a good first sign of a stale delegation.  A stale POC 
doesn't necessarily directly imply a stale delegation, but 
looking for stale POCs is about the only practical method to 
find stale delegations.  And, the potential side effects of 
updating stale POCs on valid delegations is probablly a good 
side effect anyway.

Currently most Legacy holders don't have an annual renewal 
fee or process, this will change with more adoption of the 
LRSA.  However, in realiaty all of ARIN's renual fees are 
relatively small and may be automatically paid by an 
accountant, who knows nothing about the actuall needs and 
use of IP addresses.  Even $18,000 for a XL allocation isn't 
that much money for an organization that would justify it.

The fact the bill gets paid, may only really mean there is a vaild 
billing contact, and nothing else.  But, if the accountant, gets 
an email, phone call, or letter, asking about other invalid 
contact informaiton, I expect that will usually be shifted off to 
someone who actaully knows something about the IP 
addresses.
