It is not implemented as you suggested above - it is a standard RSA by
default.

As I noted, a transfer will almost always meet these expectations.  However, 
if there are legacy resources involved and a standard RSA will not work due to 
conflict of terms with governmental requirements such as a federal, state or 
provisional authority, court authorities, etc.) ARIN may utilize an LRSA or 
modified LRSA so that the transfer can proceed.  This is unlikely to be a common  
occurrence, but does happen, just as we sometimes have to modify the LRSA for 
governmental entities.
