Hi Dustin, The longstanding convention is that the ONLY reason someone is allowed to register addresses to be used by someone else is because they're also the ones implementing the network the other party uses. This goes back to the '90s when we were all trying to keep the BGP routers from exploding by preventing folks from getting provider-independent address blocks. It's the origin of the whole allocation / assignment, ISP / end user dichotomy in the public policy structure. Address leasing defies that convention. The problem with changing the convention -now- is that it'd be grossly unfair to all the folks who for two and a half decades were denied IPv4 assignments from ARIN until, oh look at that, the IP addresses are all gone.
