Could you clarify what more diagrams might help with?  We tried to simplify the diagram to depict the effects on the AS_PATH attribute as it traverse ASN's with these features enabled.  Hopefully, we struck the right balance there, although suggestions are welcome on how we could improve them.

That's a good point.  Due to the short time we had to write & publish this draft, we only could document what's in the current draft.  I do plan to add some other ASN migration features in a next rev of this draft, but had not considered those two.  Thanks for the suggestion; we'll see what we can do.

Fortunately, some vendors got this right.

This is related to a discussion we've been having in SIDR, but since this procedure is not specific to SIDR, we thought it best to document the procedure and features used during an ASN migration here, and then SIDR will need to simply determine the best way to support this.
