[Jared Mauch <[e-mail]>]

I’m for adopting this draft as well.

I would like to clean up the security text, as there is a lot of history behind the section 6 text:

 - snip -

6.  Security Considerations

   This document does not introduce any new security considerations into
   the BGP-4 protocol.  While the injection of unknown or badly
   formatted Optional-Transitive Path Attributes has been and remains an
   issue impacting the stability of the Internet, this proposal doesn't
   increase exposure to that issue.  It is rather expected that this
   proposal helps remediate the accidental attack surface that
   incremental BGP protocol work exposes to the Internet at large.
 - snip -

I believe it should acknowledge that in the pre-7606 world the handling
was as defined but subsequently considered harmful and with 7606 covers
the risks from this document.  Simply put, striking the text after the first
paragraph and saying the handling in 7606 covers the risk SHOULD be
sufficient.
