A point of clarification Jim. Nobody owns the addresses.
They are delegated. When delegated they impose a level of
responsiblity for use. The delegation may be withdrawn for
any number of reasons. In some cases a withdrawn delegation
may be accompanied by a new delegation. (renumbering)
This is true across the board.
