[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-174 Policies Apply to All Resources in the Registry

[Kevin Kargel]

Street addresses are certainly mutable and revocable.  While not quite
common, street addresses are known to change arbitrarily without the consent
of the landowner.  The municipality can change the house number or the
street name, and zip codes have been known to be re-zoned, divided and
aggregated.  

The difference is that if your street address is revoked, you are pretty
much guaranteed you will get a different one, albeit not necessarily one you
had any say in creating.  I do not know of any instances where a landowner
who had a street address was left without one.

I know of no market that allows anyone to sell their street address to
another party, especially if that party is in another location.  
I rather suspect that if 406 Anystreet and 405 Anystreet wanted to trade
numbers it would be a painful process if possible at all.
