the four points

Can we try to summarize where we are with the four points that 
started this discussion:

1) the mandatory nature of the gateway statement in the interas attribute

Jean-Michel made a suggestion which was: 
a) the ordering of interasin/out remains as documented in RIPE 81 ++
b) the local and remote router info is optional
c) solve the parsing by adding "L:" and "R:"

Do we all buy into that?

2) the mandatory nature of asin/out attributes if interas attributes are
   present

Merit has presented reasons for leaving these both optional.
Will both as-in/out and interasin/out remain optional?

3) the proposal for an asname attribute

We have all agreed to add this, correct?

4) the proposal for a change time attribute

This is a DB working group issue so it will be addressed in
another forum.

Is this an accurate summary of our discussion so far?  Thanks.
