Curtis,

   1) I though it was still discretionary becasue to be mandatory it must
   be required for both IBGP and EBGP as stated in another diff chunk.  

Please define your reference to 'it'.  LOCAL_PREF?  Yes, this is a
liberty.  I note that there was already a discussion about reclassification
and additional definitions.  I didn't see good consensus.  I don't like my
solution either.

   2) I really don't like
   your pseudocode description of route selection and I'd rather see a
   more consise description.  

Not mine.  Copied verbatim.  I don't like using pseudo-code in a spec,
either (it's the semanticist in me), so I added a (hopefully equivalent)
English description too.

   I think there was consensus on other changes so I'll go through the
   mail and resend the changes so we can discuss them again, particularly
   ones that got positive comments.

Thanks!

   .net ?

This is correct.  juniper.com was taken.  In addition, because it was taken
by someone who is also in the networking area (a systems integrator), it
_appears_ that we'll be doing a name change anyway.  Stay tuned...  Film at
11.  ;-)
