It looks like I missed updating some of the language in the descriptions for calculated and received metrics.

It says "At least one of babel-route-calculated-metric and babel-route-received-metric MUST be non-zero. Having both be non-zero is expected for a route that is received and subsequently advertised."

I think it should be "At least one of babel-route-calculated-metric and babel-route-received-metric will be non-NULL. Having both be non-NULL is expected for a route that is received and subsequently advertised."

There's no need for normative language here, since the values are read-only and beyond the control of the info model.

Does anyone disagree with this?
