I believe those are the requirements, and are completely compatible with
what I said.

X.3 fundamentally invalidates any 'need' for either X.1 or X.2.

No, you justify global use of resources from all RIRs to the one you are
making the current request from.

The RIR evaluates based on its own policies.

The requestor has to meet the policies of the RIR being asked. How they
justified resources in the past is not an issue. The only thing being
evaluated is 'are the current resources being deployed according to the
policy requirements of the RIR being asked for new resources?'

No, location is a non-issue. Any requestor has resources in deployment on a
global basis. Any request they make for additional resources has to meet the
policies of the RIR they are requesting from. 

The regionalization has more to do with aligning administrative procedures
with social & international norms than it does with where the resources are
deployed.
