My thoughts are people probably should not be
announcing BGP prefixes
on the Internet if they have a issue of not giving out their contact info. I
believe the initial intent of rwhois with regard to AMPRNet is only for
people who are announcing prefixes via BGP. Not the small "sub" assignments
within said announced BGP prefixes.
Actually that's an RIR requirement regardless of whether the address space
is even routed publicly. BGP has nothing to do with it - only that the
prefix is shorter than a /29 - and the LIR has a choice of either SWIPing
the assignment or putting it in rwhois. Moreover, net-44 is a legacy
resource which I don't think is legally governed by any specific RIR
policies (ie. I don't think we've signed on to any legacy RSAs).
However, a (r)whois lookup facility would not be a bad idea.
