I think you have highlighted a fundamental issue with the design of RIPE
database objects. They include data that is specifically for human
consumption in objects that are structured so they can be parsed by
software. 

I do not know what the best way to combine software parsable database
objects and human readability is but recognise that this is not the Database
WG list and that I am not a database expert.
