Re: [Idr] I-D Action: draft-ietf-idr-rfc4893bis-07.txt

Thanks, Enke. To add to this, there is (I believe) just one normative change. 

-06 says:

   The AS4_PATH attribute in an UPDATE message SHALL be considered
   malformed under the following conditions:

      - the attribute length is not a multiple of two, or is too small
        (i.e., less than 6) for the attribute to carry at least one
        AS number, or

      - the path segment length in the attribute is either zero, or
        is inconsistent with the attribute length, or

      - the path segment type in the attribute is not one of the
        types defined: AS_SEQUENCE, AS_SET.

-07 changes the final bullet:

   The AS4_PATH attribute in an UPDATE message SHALL be considered
   malformed under the following conditions:

      - the attribute length is not a multiple of two, or is too small
        (i.e., less than 6) for the attribute to carry at least one
        AS number, or

      - the path segment length in the attribute is either zero, or
        is inconsistent with the attribute length, or

      - the path segment type in the attribute is not one of the
        types defined: AS_SEQUENCE, AS_SET, AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE
        and AS_CONFED_SET.
