Not even talking about the fact that they apparently didn't try
and contact Bob yet, nor make a public statement about the status.

Then again, there is another side to the story that one could be
allocated
address space (or ASN's etc) just for the sake that:
'whenever we peer with another party we know that it is globally unique'
Though one could quite easily state that and we haven't seen that yet
either...

Maybe a 'intention of use' clause could be put into the still to be
renewed signup draft?
