Hmm, this would certainly make our lives simpler, and improve the
privacy of our customer/business data, but doesn't it somewhat
defeat the purpose of rwhois service by making our end customers
invisible to the outside world?  For ARIN purposes, I can see how
it may be sufficient to know that we have assigned the spaces to
(unspecified) customers.

Would we use the "Private Customer" label, as for residential
customers, or just use our own name "XYZ Network"?

Or does this only apply to delegations to downstream rwhois
servers?
