Jon,

You beat me to such a draft.  I had one about 2/3 finished and just got
diverted from finishing it. :-)  I thus, obviously, support a draft on this.

I would also suggest that GROW is probably a more appropriate venue for this
draft.

I suggest that we leave 65535 alone as a reserved AS.

I finally suggest that the number of private ASes (967K) is somewhat weird
and would be a counter example of an implementor that would like something
that made a bit more sense boundary-wise.  (It makes staring at the private
stuff in the debugger a bit easier.)
