To be more specific, we don't need, with an AS based scheme, to have
address delegation being made by a registry. A registry is useful and
the RIPE registry as been a great aid to everyone.

I see no advantage in having a registry assigned prefix and a prefix build
from a AS #... the addressing concept is exactly the same.

At the moment i believe that requiring address delegation will only make
things harder for people to get into the 6bone... things are hard enought
as it is for most people.

I think it is a plus...

A 6bone registry would not be able to delegate non testing allocation
addresses. Also i do believe that this is not a real technical problem
but incorrect perception by some people...
