This is a very recent supplement: (You might need to log into the AIS website to view the pdf)

http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/pubs/aip/p...2008_11_en.PDF

Regarding MAPs, here's an extract (my bold):

11.7 Missed Approach Procedure: To expedite the introduction of RNAV (GNSS) procedures, the Missed Approach Procedures will be conventional, using ground-based navigational aids. These will be reviewed in due course and, after detailed discussions with the airports to determine optimum hold locations and required tracks, will be converted to full RNAV MAPs. Environmental consultation will need to be considered for any new tracks. Until then, all MAPs will be straight ahead to a designated altitude with GNSS track guidance being provided towards the missed approach turning point only. At the designated altitude, or Missed Approach Turning Fix (MATF), whichever is the earlier, the pilot should revert to conventional navigation and route to the holding beacon, ie by making a turn to the beacon or a turn with continued climb to holding altitude at the beacon.

And here's the 'original' supplement from Nov '07:

Time for a quick u-turn, NavMonkey?
