More modification to RIPE-81++

I just came back from vacation so I have not had chance to go through
all the related messages yet.  From what I understand is that we all agreed
to make the <local-rid> field optional and because of changing the ordering of 
<local-rid> field which cause some ambiguity, we want to change the 
requirement from 'optional' to 'mandetory'.  This sounds really odd.  Can  
we do something to still keep it 'optional'?

Also, this (optional vs mandetory) seems to be a pretty big change.  Since two
of the co-authors were (and one is still ) on vacation, would you please wait 
for them to come back before making the 81++ final?  Elise will be back on 8/31.

Thanks!
