When ARIN was created there wasn't any change in the relationship between the resource holder and the resource.  That relationship was established when the assignment was made.  Also, if the resource holder still exists and is using the resource, then I contend, the relationship between the resource and resource holder has never changed and never will change.

You would be asserting incorrectly, as the address block was issued to 
the holder subject to policies which both can effect the relationship 
and can change over time.

Registrants had to accept policy changes from the USG (such as the change 
of the registry itself from one party to another and addition of fields) 
as well as change to registry policies as set by the community (such as 
RFC 2050, the bulk Whois policy, etc.)
