I see two ways to go:

- first, put the RPSLng implementation(s) into production,
- get feedback,
- then have the RFC

or,

- first have the RFC as PS
- then put the implementation into production
- then fix any problems with the RFC

Requesting comments by preparing a prototype implementation did
not really work. We have announced our prototype on 12 May 2003:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/db-wg/2003/msg00066.html

No comments came so far. There is only one route6 object created
(except the ones that NCC employees created for testing).

In any case, I guess the community should decide how we must proceed.

Best regards,
