I'm not too concerned with the implementation of the feature as 
specified in the draft.  As I say, my main concern is the associated 
impact on features such as ORF and Graceful Restart.  Am I on my own 
here to make decisions on how I think these features will react to a 
dynamic change?

As an example, of the top of my head, does an implementation remove a 
local ORF if an ORF type is removed from the capabilities advertised by 
a peer, or maybe it is assumed that the peer sends a REMOVE-ALL - that's 
what I mean by "concern". :)

If it's up to the developer to make intelligent decisions on this then I 
guess that's the way it will have to be although I would have thought 
that this could lead to interoperability issues especially if there 
aren't actually any implementations out there yet (please correct me if 
I'm wrong).

Cheers

Neil
