   I believe that DIST_LIST_INCL simply
   "lists the RDIs of the routeing domains and confederations
   to which the routeing information may be distributed."
   an RDI or confederation an RDI may contain a very large number
   of routers. It does not specify or restrict which of
   thousands or more routers(along th path and attached
   to it)are provided with the information.
   Any info on the granularity that could be implemented as
   well as the action that should (/not) be taken by routers
   along the path would be appreciated.

I'd like to understand why passing this information to some routers within
an AS is acceptable and not others in the AS.  By doing this, you're
basically precluding that domain from providing you with a resilient
internal structure.  What does this buy you?
