There has been enough confusion about whether it's the value or the attribute.
Change this:

   Duplicate BGP Large Community values SHOULD NOT be transmitted.  A
   receiving speaker SHOULD ignore duplicate BGP Large Community values
   from a BGP UPDATE message.

to this:

   Duplicate BGP Large Community values SHOULD NOT be transmitted.  A
   receiving speaker SHOULD silently remove duplicate BGP Large Community
   values from a BGP Large Community attribute.

Thanks,
Jakob.
