This is not what I observed (inetnum 217.64.96.0 - 217.64.96.255 is
still protected by AFRINIC-LOCKED-MNT and I was nevertheless able to
create 96.64.217.in-addr.arpa anonymously). You can try by yourself.

It was not tested before the delegation (one of the name servers is
lame but it prevented nothing).
