I think the RIPE documentation needs some updating.

-----------------------------------------------
The status field can have one of these values:

     ALLOCATED PA (the most common allocation type for Local IR's)

     ALLOCATED PI (rare for Local IR's)

     ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED

     ASSIGNED PA

     ASSIGNED PI

     These five values are explained in ripe-140.
-------------------------------------------------
There is no ripe-140.

Next.

>From ripe-142:
----------------------------------------------------
status:       Specifies  whether the request is provider
                   aggregatable  or   provider   independent.
                   Should  be filled in with either "ASSIGNED
                   PA" or "ASSIGNED PI".
----------------------------------------------------

No mention of "allocated PA" or "allocated PI" or
"allocated unspecified".

I think the RIPE documents need to be updated.  There should be
a pointer to ripe-127 instead.
