I do not expect much volatility in this area. Also the new setup of
the RIPE docstore will note this as it happens and it can be fixed quickly.

This is slightly more involved and therefore 2nd choice.

This is why I say 'nice service'. It is not required and as Piet says
can be just some explanations which are explicitly a summary and
not formally binding. It can be  useful however for someone making an
overview of what is required for -say- a pan-European company. In this
case they do not need to have n documents translated just to produce the
overview.
