pref syntax for RIPE-81++

Okay, these changes basically clear up the questions I had. Obviously
we should probably re-visit the multi-preference stuff and the pref in
general with either IDRP or TOS/QOS. However, if this is to go into
RIPE-81++ I think we'd need a better explanation in the main text -
especially for the pref part. As to the routerid I fear Jimi is not 
here as he is on vacation. I really want and need to get the FINAL
version of RIPE-81++ out so we give enough time before the next RIPE
meeting. We are already way behind. Can we not just accept ours
(perhaps in exchange for the parenthesis perhpas) This is 
even the one you are using in almost all of your examples. I again
stress my motives for our format is purely for clarity and alignment
with the more general as-in/out format. What say you guys ?

Would it be possible to produce a little more descriptive text that
can be folded into the relevant section.

P.S. If we can agree this the only ? in the text is the router object
document. 
As far as I can see the object definition Laurent has done is fine
with just a little clarification in the text. I'll try to send some
comments on this in a seperate message.
