I have been told that 2001:c00::/32 *is* the block where APNIC assigns
PI from (and indeed, the "ge /48" might need changing to "ge 44 le 48"
or whatever the policy is).

This might be not correct, and I certainly agree that the UPDATE statements
on the pages really should carry timestamps - a new restructuring of the
page seems to be necessary.

I did not write the JunOS filters -- but every time someone comes up and
says "the JunOS filters do something different than the IOS filters",
usually they are confused about evaluation order in JunOS.

As far as I know, the IOS and JunOS filters should be fully equivalent,
even if written differently - if they are not, please let me know, and
explain why.
