Example registered but not 'routed': 7.0.0.0/8
Not a good example.This particular /8 allocation is described by IANA as "007/8 Apr 95 IANA - Reserved" in http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space while a whois query to the ARIN database reveals:

IANA or ARIN? Is this, as ARIN data is claiming, an address block that is currently allocated to the US Dept of Defense via a "direct allocation" (by IANA presumably, but unspecified in any case), or is this, as IANA data is claiming, an address block that is currently in the IANA reserved pool and can be allocated to an RIR in the future. Go figure.
Would we want to change whois output to include the 'pub/priv' flag?
or "conflicting data" flag?
or perhaps I completely missed the mark? :)
no comment :-) Geoff
