Btw., this would similarly apply to reverse DNS. Having a well-defined way
to identify administrative control (maybe some better wording would be
required) could be helpful in defining boundaries for reputation systems
(eg "all IPs in this IPv6-/32 belong to the same ISP, but the adjacent /32
is someone else.").
