I doubt this is a significant issue, because there are already several custom different RPSL attributes used by various RPSL databases. RIPE has sponsoring-org on inetnums, some have last-modified on their objects, and I think there are several other arbitrary attributes already. Tools should be capable of encountering attributes they don’t understand. I am in favour of this proposal. Encoding structured information into a free-form remarks field seems sloppy and error prone. I don’t see any downsides to adding the new optional attribute, and it’s fairly simple to implement. Sasha
