The RPS "keys" are the functional equivalants of the Routing Policy
System statements that are used in the IRR. The structure used
allows a PERL script to reorder them in the desired sequence
after an axfr "shuffles" them. This was discussed in the RIDE wg
of the IETF.

Nope. Of course everyone is then responsible for publishing
