And lets say a  multi national has legacy space in ARIN also does business
in (example) RIPE and decides it can profit from off- loading to another
party who is only present in RIPE or LACNIC ...
Present conditions allows the legacy space owner to leverage his presence
across RIRs to trade outside the RIR system?
Therefore pro-096 is basically a loophole closer?
