While I do not want to comment on the usefulness of this approach -
I'm certainly worried with the logistics. How would you keep the links
"healthy" in the long run and the referred-to documents up-to-date?
. Either store the documents where they are maintained
--> broken links, eventually.
. Or store the documents alongside with the parent doc at the RIPE-NCC
--> non-trivial to make the access "secure" and at the same time
resonably comfortable to ensure regular updates.

Nice to have, I agree.
Otoh, I don't really understand the rationale to register a name in
country when there is nobody available to cope with a local-language
document...
(Yes we keep getting such requests more frequently these days :-)
