How about simply extending it to cover everything:
Clear contractual arrangements between LIRs and end users are mandatory for all RIPE resources (IP space and AS numbers).
Actually, for *PA*, they have always been "recommended" - mostly to ensure that customers are aware that they can't normally take the PA space away to other providers. For PI and AS numbers, they are mandatory since 2007-01. So changing this to "mandatory" for PA space would, in my reading, be a change of policy (... and opens up a new opportunity for bureaucracy, as in "being required to display the contract to the RIPE NCC upon an audit" or such).
