% Bill,
% 
% I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make in the context of
% admin repository changes over time.
% 
% What happens to your example handle if the admin function is one day moved
% from ARIN to some other administrative entity (call it !ARIN for the sake of
% argument), but the person and prefix remain constant?  Does the handle
% remain WM110-ARIN, or must it change to WM110-!ARIN?

	The legecy composite  WM110-ARIN remains
	If -I- chose to do business w/ !ARIN, then !ARIN may
	create the composite WM110-!ARIN.  If !ARIN wishes
	to create the composite anyway, they -MUST- use my
	handle, WM110, not create something else.. like BM14
	or WM73.
