I'm obviously not your intended audience with these documents, but your 
suggestions make a lot of sense to me.   Restricting the policy document to 
just that, with all other supporting information in a 'guidelines' document 
would I feel make the former easier to read and the latter would actually 
provide a useful and comprehensive 'support' document for those that need it.

This sounds great.

I think this would be very useful.  Have you also considered making a 
presentation at the APNIC OPM in August?
