Sounds like a good idea, I agree with this.

I agree with Hannes on this.

However, if the document was to highlight strongly that the data is "a non-routing related capability" (if that's what we believe!) and stress that the information "that does not change frequently" (perhaps with some explanation of
"frequently") I believe that might help everyone.
