    It is an internet-draft, so it is approrpiate to discuss a flaw in the
    protocol here,  but in point of fact the protocol is not flawed.

    My point is that a careful reading of the definition would indicate that
    no-advertise already does exactly what you want of it...rather we just
    weren't consistent,  since neighbor-route-maps were added later in
    the game as an afterthought.

Understood. The reason I mentioned it in this forum is because I was assuming
that the cisco behavior was intentional; depending on how one interprets
"no-advertise" (and admittedly, I didn't re-read the Internet-Draft before
I sent my note, mea culpa), one could interpret the current cisco behavior as
perfectly reasonable.

(now that may be a first, I'm assuming that odd behavior is a feature rather
than a bug...:-)
