I would claim that this answer is sufficient to know that the proposed 
policy is wrong on its face, and that if we care about restricting 
allocations the text we have now needs changing.

Obviously the new addresses would be coming from ARIN for use in the 
ARIN region by customers located in the ARIN region. If that isn't 
sufficient to get an allocation, I think we broke something.
