So fix that too.  We then have:

	mandatory/discresional/conditional/disallowed
	IBGP/EBGP

And the mandatory bit is set in the attribute header iff something is
mandatory for both IBGP and EBGP for compatible bit setting with
existing implementations.

Sound OK?  Are we headed toward consensus?  :-)
