The prefix makes it easy to find the proposal without context. You
don't need to know that 2014-86 is a RIPE policy document if you see a
reference to it somewhere. You will know and a simple search without
context other than the document's name will lead you to the correct
place.


> How about 2014-86-APWG for example? Or, if we want to prepend: RIPE-PDP-2014-86-APWG. At least put the WG name after the number. I agree that otherwise it seems to become part of the namespace.

Appending makes sense, actually. It shows what WG the PDP is in, yet
it allows one single sequence to be counted up without arguments about
spanning namespaces.
