Wouldn't a well-operated network of IRRs used by 95% of
network operators be able to meet all three of your

Maybe I missed something, but didn't Verio say the prefix was in
their internal registry, and that's why it was accepted.
Perhaps by "well-operated", Michael was referring to something like
the hierarchical authentication scheme used by the RIPE database,
which ultimately provides access control for route objects using RIR
allocation/assignment data?
