Personally, I still think the above is limiting, eg the small operator 
who is not multi-homed, and only really needs a /22

The first way is what allocation do they already have?  If they have say a /19  or equivalent maybe they can demonstrate they need say another /19 by furnishing to ARIN maybe their financials and the investment they have actually made to justify another /19 or whatever.  (I'm just using the /19 as an example.)

ah.. reasonable way... that is the rub.. I see hosting companies with 
throw away domains occupying the whole /19 using it as justification for 
getting another /19 of fresh IP(s) they can rent out.. not to disrupt 
the thread.. ARIN has a tough time.. what is a legitimate use to one 
person is maybe not to another.. I am never sure if IP(s) used to 
generate outbound traffic is a good justification, there are other ways 
to share an IP Address for outbound.. I think a priority should be 
somehow worded in that 'inbound' destinations take priority over 
outbound sources.. eg, you have to advertise a public service that it 
accessible.. it should take precedence over say someone that uses their 
IP(s) to generate bulk outbound traffic ..
