Works for me too.  The one known issue for RIPE 554 is (and has been for a long time as Sander pointed out), the fact that we should have had RFC6105 instead of RFC 4862 since the intent was to make RA filtering mandatory.

Jan has approached me a few times to see about helping edit a newer version and I am OK with that as long as there are enough changes to warrant a completely new document.  We don't want to turn out a new RIPE doc every time one new v6 related RFC is published but certainly we should keep track of enhancements and modifications on best practices as deployments continue and then turn out a new document (and obsolete previous one(s)).
