Hmm. -649 s6.1 doesn't actually say that IXP PI must be 
returned and can't be transferred. At most it could be 
read as implied by "A /16 will be held in reserve for 
exclusive use by Internet Exchange Points"
Even if interpreted restrictively, this would still allow
transfers to other IXPs...

May I suggest, though, that this statement:
"Resources are excluded from transfers when RIPE Policies mandate
their return to the RIPE NCC."  
be moved to s2.2 "Transfer Restrictions"? IMO it's a more logical
place to find it if one were looking to find out whether a
resource is eligible for transfer.
