John, 
I support this as well.  Might I offer this trivial changes to remove 
potential ambiguities:

=====
2.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests IANA to mark the BGP Path Attributes registry
   entries for DPA (Value 11), ADVERTISER (Value 12), and RCID_PATH / 
   CLUSTER_ID (Value 13) as "Deprecated".

=====

If we ever get to a point where there is a lack of code points, the IESG 
would then confirm changing the deprecated values to be unassigned 
for use, or so it goes..
