May I express some doubts about the 'cosmetic surgery project'?
The project was introduced as early as October 2009 and RIPE 513 was published
in February 2011.  What appears to happen is a very late post publication copy
editing.  In this particular case, the policy itself is a change to the
database attributes and - other than, say, address allocation/assignment
policies - not very likely read its own.  Any structural changes
to the document (where's the template, by the way?) and changes to style
(passive voice here and there) or readability might better be invested
in the general database documentation.

The new draft eliminates the data protection aspect from the
introduction/motivation section, which I consider a loss. The abstract
wins, though.  The draft continues to use 2000::/46 for the example
where some chunk of 2001:DB8::/32 as per RFC 3849 might be a better choice.
