ANN: Web141, the RIPE 141 syntax checking web page

Looking at the web page, it seems that every time we want to fill in
a new request  the #[CURRENT ADDRESS SPACE USAGE TEMPLATE]#
must be filled in as well one by one, a time consuming task especially
for those
LIRs who manage a large address space.  Is this what it is or Am
I missing
something here?
