I fully support the meaning of this proposal and think it is the right way
to make sure that the RIPE DB reflects the real world.

However, I think I noticed a small problem in
http://ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/ripe-424-draft-2007-01-v3.html

The new text in "9.0 PA vs. PI Address Space" states:
|The policies stated above about the PI address space covers all non PA
|address space maintained in the RIPE database, except address space
|marked as Early Registration (ERX) and address space marked as NON-SET.

This somewhat conflicts with:
|1.1 Scope
|
|This document describes the policies for the responsible management of
|globally unique IPv4 Internet address space in the RIPE NCC service
|region. The policies documented here apply to all IPv4 address space
|allocated and assigned by the RIPE NCC.

Take 130.83.0.0/16 for example. It is "ASSIGNED PI" now, but it has never
been assigned by the RIPE NCC (see RFC 1117, the assignment is first
mentioned there).
Of course this can easily be fixed, for example by changing the first
sentence of the above quoted new text to:

The policies stated above about the PI address space covers all non PA
address space allocated or assigned by the RIPE NCC and maintained in the
RIPE database, ...
