How would you feel about ARIN being the root of a registry hierarchy that 
works similar to the DNS? In that case, ARIN would not necessarily hold 
the route information, they would just be at the top of the search 
hierarchy just like the root name servers are at the top of the DNS 
hierarchy. ARIN would authoritatively identify the leaseholder of an 
address block and give you a pointer to that leaseholder's LDAP server 
where you could query for whatever info they have available. This could 
include route registry info.
