As for the recycled /16s those are cases - well known sometimes, such as the sfbay packet radio netblock (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/04/a_case_of_network_identity_the_1.html) of defunct companies being "revived" for the sake of a unused /16 that's in their hands .. What we see in the RIPE region is a series of assigned PI and PA netblocks. Large ones. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists at gmail.com)
