The ambiguity is (for example) that "point to" is not a well-defined phrase, 
given that we have two documented ways of doing this in the AS112 project, and 
neither is "black hole server" which from the examples seems it refers to 
servers made available from the AS112 project, but which examples surely are 
non-normative.

This no doubt sounds pedantic to many, but I think (a) that a certain precision 
is warranted in directions to the IANA and (b) given that the obvious 
interpretation is not possible to implement accurately (the problems with new 
delegations to the original AS112 servers having been well documented) 
ambiguity is in fact *required* in order for anything to happen here.
