That is a good idea.  And I can see how the AS number might be useful
for the Nmap diagram project.  Perhaps there could be circles
containing all of the hosts in a single AS to represent organization
boundaries.  I will add this to the list of possible tasks.  Does
anyone have suggestions as to the best way to obtain this data?

Also, you could probably do this with a simple Nmap Scripting Engine
script.  If such an infrastructure existed yet :).  See my next email.
