I still don’t see any value in specifying length. What you are looking for is

Any end network emitting SMTP system SHOULD provide SWIP.
I just don’t know how that gets enforced in any reasonable way. In general SMTP
& independent routing are the big targets needing accurate contact info, and
length has absolutely nothing to do with either.

While I agree in principle, it CAN be provided by "SWIP" OR 'rwhois', and that
should be pointed out, as rwhois is more flexible in the IPv4 space, eg providing
allocation information to the /32 level.
This again goes to an earlier email where I described that it should be more
conceptual, than specific ranges..
It should be, "if a party is responsible for the originating traffic", then
that party should be displayed via SWIP/rwhois.
Well… That’s hard to implement in practice. How do we go about SWIPing all
those home windows boxes to the hackers that are actually controlling the
emitted traffic?

I assume you were being flippant/joking. The person who should be
contacted if the device is hacked in that case, would 'normally' be the
ISP, unless the person notified the ISP that they were taking
responsibility. (Same way as they now request a static IP address
instead of dynamic)
But, in keeping with your 'flippant' style, we do have some ISP's that
aren't responsible for the traffic that happens on their networks too ;)
