Dear AS6730-MNT,
swinog@lists.swinog.ch == SWINOG last time I checked.
Trying to talk to a single entity through a mailinglist is a bit silly IMHO, then again, it gives fun for the folks on the list, as...
Currently SWISSLOS-NET (www.swisslos.ch) is not globally reachable cause of a missing RPLS route object. Even the DE-CIX looking glass has no entry (1).

It might work in your network if you or your upstream don't filter the bgp updates with RPLS.
Ehmm.... you got that backward: it is in the interest of that site that they publish an RPSL object.
Actually for that matter, if you have a prefix and you want it reachable now and more importantly in the future, it is a smart move to publish route/route6 objects for them. More and more ISPs and especially transit providers see the benefit of it and they will filter on prefixes which are not properly documented.
Note also that the RIPE database happily accepts entries for non-RIPE prefixes too.
