Töma,
Prop-266 uses the phrase "BGP hijacking" but does not define it. Without a careful
definition of "BGP hijacking", it is not possible to define the difference between
intentional and accidental hijacking.

The prop-266 establishes a difference between intentional and
occasional hijacking.
Now, consider a case when a Chinese ISP accidentally leaks 30/8 away.
Imagine the newspaper headlines next morning, given that 30/8 is
formally allocated to the DoD.
Imagine Joe Sixpacks talking about the issue, treating that as a
direct violent attack against the DoD, almost (if almost) an act of
war.
After that, consider the PR consequences when ARIN (APNIC etc.)
decides that was accidental and thus just fine.
This is one of the scenarios that makes me worry the most: exposing
the cute and simple network address registry to all sorts of
politicians with their ambitions.
