Ernie - ARIN doesn't have a view on how people should think.  It 
does have an interest in making sure that number resources policies
that are adopted by community are followed.

Specified Transfer Listing Service (STLS) is a service, not 
a policy.  You don't need to use the STLS to make use of the 
Specified Transfer policy.  

The Specified Transfer policy lets parties to free up address 
space (that might not otherwise be available) and then arrange
transfer to another party. Given that a lot of IPv4 address 
space may be readily available given a little work to renumber,
it was felt to be a reasonable compromise in encouraging better
utilization once we've run out of the IP4 free pool.  Parties 
which receive under the specified transfer policy still must meet
all of the normal address allocation requirements, including
documented need.
