DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is this document not in the Standards Track?  I ask because I think that
the definition of a well-known community (one which has "global significance
and their operations shall be implemented in any community-attribute-aware BGP
speaker" [rfc1997], in other words, everywhere!) should result in a Standards
Track specification, and not in an Informational document.  I couldn't find any
specific justification for the status in the writeups (Shepherd or Ballot), nor
a related discussion in the archive.

To resolve this DISCUSS, I would prefer to see a change in the status, but will
yield to WG consensus (so a pointer to that discussion would be enough).

COMMENT:

Nit:  It would be very nice if the appendices were referenced in the text.
