Shouldn't it have been impossible to do exactly the same swip? It was my 
understand that ARIN returns an error when you try.

It pretty clear to me that ARIN should not allow swip if another one for 
the same network is already there ("netrange" is the same) and if existing 
swip has same orgid as new swip. If arin are not doing this already, it 
should be fairly simple additional filter to implement...
