rfc2622 ยง10.2 describes "adding new attributes to existing classes,"
which is what adding ther prefixlen: attribute to inetnum: class does.
same hack as geofeed: attribute.
10.2 Extensions by adding new attributes to existing classes
New attributes can be added to any class. To ensure full
compatibility, new attributes should not contradict the semantics
of the objects they are attached to. Any tool that uses the IRR
should be designed so that it ignores attributes that it doesn't
understand. Most existing tools adhere to this design principle.
