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.
