This is a losing proposition. The data in the IRR, CA, or any mechanism that is updated out-of-band from the protocol itself will inherently be out-of-sync.
Provisioning systems are out of synch with the protocol, but essential for many(maont?) networks' connectivity. Many providers who do use the IRR have it as an adjunct/offshoot of their provisionign system. Of course, to some monolithic entities the suggestion that any alteration (or $deity-forbid, a not-invented-here *improvement*) to their system is anathema. [snip some interesting stuff]
If you are changing providers, which takes awhile anyway,That process seems to be getting quicker: http://www.equinix.com/prod_serv/network/ed.htm
See 'whois -h whois.radb.net rs-ed-ash' and similar objects; great support for "IRR as externally-relevant portion of a provisioning system". Cheers, Joe -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
