I am not sure I would support my own suggestion, but I would
instead propose that any transfer would move to the next
level of contract.  In other words, one *could* transfer addresses
not currently under LRSA/RSA to a LRSA contract should the
recipient insist, but any LRSA (or RSA) addresses need to be
transferred under a full RSA contract.

In my mind, this would let transfers for which the addresses
are essentially incidental to the M&A process move smoothly,
while those for which addresses are the point of the M&A
process be more onerous.  Or perhaps I am completely
missing the point.
