Indeed. And although some of us (personally) tried to point out the problems with unilterally (and partly for non-technical teasons) going ahead with a very specific text, at a time when the eventual problems were discussed and to be expected already(!), it didn't help.
and I note from the APWG agenda for Prague there is an enticing item (well, I find it interesting) called "????-?? Global Policy State in RIPE PDP (Dave Wilson)."

In the meantime, we work with what we have, and I support 2009-1.
