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.
