All PDP-related emails, web pages, and other documents published by RIPE NCC will either carry a unified diff (diff -ruN) or directly link to a page which shows said unified diff.
Other formats, like full text, old/new text, etc are encouraged as well, but the diff is the binding format in which PDPs are published, documented, and discussed.
As discussed on IRC, during the preparation of 2013-03 I submitted a last-minute amendment. This amendment made it into the complete new policy document[1], but not in the side-by-side diff[2]. [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/ipv4-address-allocation-and-as... [2] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/ipv4-address-allocation-and-as... I noticed this myself, and it was corrected shortly after. This is not a complaint - I have only myself to blame for changing the proposal after all the documentation had been produced. That said, if both the current and the new proposed policy was written in a standardised plain-text[ish] format, creating the side-by-side diff page could have been a fully automated task with no risk of omissions, rather than a manual one. Just a data point... Tore
