I find it likely that the draft needs some clarity as to whether we'd want
this capability present (or not) when BFD is not intended to be used on the
link.

Your example of "we're doing ibgp, please don't use BFD for BGP":
- If we did want to use BFD, please use strict.
- If we didn't want to use BFD, we might still want to specify strict as a
  capability so that by not having it come up you didn't end up in one of
  your interop scenarios.
