The authoritative sources put the data out there. What more can you
ask of them? What more do you want? It's been said that the neutral
parties (the authorities are supposed to be neutral) should not make
business decisions for the industry. Recommending route filters is a
business decision. Operational recommendations in general are
business decisions.
Consider it lucky you have a choice here. The plain official
version, William's marked up copy, and edits to William's on the
list. You have a choice here, you can't beat that.
