I am wondering if the draft should mention that Local Internet

All of the "NIRs" I've encountered can be construed as LIRs under the terms
of the definition of LIR in that region. apnic and lacnic I belive
specifically recognize the term.
As much as I dislike the entire term NIR I see it exist already on the
"top"/"root", to quote from http://www.iana.org/numbers
"Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are generally assigned in a hierarchical
manner. Users are assigned IP addresses by Internet service providers
(ISPs). ISPs obtain allocations of IP addresses from a local Internet
registry (LIR) or National Internet Registry (NIR), or from their
appropriate Regional Internet Registry (RIR):"
I see APNIC are using it
(http://www.apnic.net/policy/operational-policies-nirs/text), are
anyone else? All I see is just yet another level of
administration/control?
