Monitoring BGP table-vs-IRR is no big deal; IPMA has been giving a view into that for a long time. Giving anyone a good reason to fix their errors is another issue entirely. Most of the players who care about routing registries do so because they, their peers or upstreams use them. The incentive for those who don't care/use them to start caring/using them is what is lacking. Both the push to self-maintained registries [eliminating the 'not maintained here' paranoia] and the address-registry tie-in are good moves to make RRs more of a standard-and-accepted thing with which even curmudgeonly-types would have trouble arguing.
