Cross-database AS-macro references

In theory yes  but it does raise the IRR thing again which I still
dont see moving ahead to quickly 
but anyway I am not sure what this buys unless ANS can really
suport configs based on AS based plocies (even if this means mapping
down to route in the implementation). 
It is nice to have a bunch of ASes to reference ANS
customers by but if by this it means ANS will start implementing what
they talked about doing which is using ripe-181 policy for
configuration they have to get MEDs working. I know this is perhaps
the wrong place to be spouting this but I still have not seen a
concrete date as to when you will take advisories directly from us or
anyone else for that matter and I'd rather see this happen than
spending time on setting up AS-MACROs for ANS. I'm probably mixing
issues here but things seem more than a little unclear as to when
support of other RR will be put in place.
