i was hoping that, if 3130 said it is peering with martha, artemis
would get a clue and stfu

right. This was klunked around using the export-via and import-via
rpsl constructions (draft-snijders-rpsl-via), which never quite made
it to ietf wg adoption status. It did, however, point out how limited
RPSL grammar was :(

i was an early and serious fan of rpsl; see my nanog preso from '96
https://archive.psg.com/960530.nanog.ps, yes, postscript, portrait mode,
probably on acetate, not comic sans, and not magenta.  as i said, early.

it was sabatoged, thanks sean; though to make the point that it was not
at all authenticated.

it has proved useful, though far from a panacea.  but i fear that
scaling issues, lack of authentication, etc. discouraged work and
it is slowly fading.
