Wouldn't this slow down the process for requesting more addresses?
Usually, when an ISP is requesting more addresses they're in a bigger time
crunch than when they're asking for a transfer.

Perhaps asking for utilization of the addresses isn't required as long as
the legal documention looks good.  

The ISPs that have a history with ARIN isn't as big a problem (from out
viewpoint) as those orgs that we've never heard of and will never hear of
again.
