Internic address allocation policy

Clearly some of Matthew's customers are concerned with privacy, and wish to
restrict the knowledge of their connection to the Internet, or some set
of information related to that connection. So they wish the publicly-
available information to be "sanitized".

The NIC already has to base part of it's evaluation of address space use
on methods other than SWIPs and RWHOIS data for address space allocated to
the service provider which has been used internally by that organization.

Could not the provider make the assignments to the customer "care of" the
provider itself, listing a customer ID or similar, to meet the customers'
wishes of privacy; then under an NDA, identification of these customers,
with detailed contact info, could be made to the InterNIC?

'ping' etc., for example. really, is the issue _usage of the addresses_
or _assigment of the addresses_? I can assign any addresses to the
moon's inhabitants.
