COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for writing this document and the recent updates. While it is an easy
read, I agree with others that there might still be some case where maybe
benefits are overstated, e.g. sec 2.1 is not very objective and only provides
basically two anecdotes. Other examples are these sentences:

"In addition to the above, our implementation experience indicates
   that Babel tends to be robust with respect to bugs: more often than
   not, an implementation bug does not violate the properties on which
   Babel relies, and therefore slows down convergence or causes sub-
   optimal routing rather than causing the network to collapse."

or

"No other routing protocol known to us is similarly robust and
   efficient in this particular kind of topology."
(also still one "us" here)
