What about the fact that an AS_SET counts as 1 (in IOS)???  Is that already
in the spec?

Does juniper set AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE to 0 too?

What about AS_CONFED_SETs?  Does anybody use these?

I don't think we want to put stuff in [to the draft] just because IOS does
it; it might be nice to put stuff in that covers Juniper and IOS, if and
only if it affect interoperability.

That would be my preferred action.

However, I would also prefer that the AS_PATH length calculation for
confederation segments (i.e. they have zero value) also be moved into the
confed update.
