Do the internet route registries  exist  to track routes that are not
to appear on the public internet?  I think not.

There should probably be an attribute provided for such objects,
however,  that would indicate  "This route does not appear on the
public internet".

If not tagged like that in some manner, and a matching route does has
not appeared on the public internet  at any time during the past  6 to
12  months,  then  I would consider the registry object to be defunct.
