Read RFC2008:

Rekhter & Li             Best Current Practice                  [Page 5]
RFC 2008                                                    October 1996
 
 
   "address ownership" policy, the organization would be able to use
   these addresses to gain access to the Internet routing services,
   regardless of where the organization connects to the Internet.
 
   While it has never been explicitly stated that various Internet
   Registries use the "address ownership" allocation policy, it has
   always been assumed (and practiced).

Oh oh... :-)

For address space assigned, transferred or delegated prior to October 1996,
you've got a problem.
