Are there any plans to correlate route registry objects against 
address registry databases?  

I believe that one of the roots of this thread is the need to validate
the legitimacy of not only routes, but registered route objects.  
Although it is too much to expect that route objects will match up
cleanly with address block assignments at the outset, performing 
such a correlation would at least identify the scope of the problem.
