Each entity getting a piece of the aggregatable number space must maintain
a registry for that below them.

So that means a TLA (pTLA in our case) keeps track of its assignments, and
if an NLA under it allocates below itself, then that NLA must also keep a
registry.


Your question on format is a good one.  David Kessens might suggest one as
he has said he can help provide the service using his 6bone registry.

Myself, I'm doing the dumb and simple 'keep a text list' approach, see:

I would be happy to have someone suggest a better format than mine, and
I'll chnage to it.

My guess is that not everyone will want to use either the 6bone registry
(in a RIPE-style format) or a simple text list, so maybe having both is a
good idea.


Comments?


Thanks,
