While working through the likely changes in our BGP implementation, the
following thought occurred while looking at the relevant RFC 4486 sub-codes
and triggers.

RFC 4486 defines two administrative actions that seem applicable to this
draft:

         2        Administrative Shutdown
         4        Administrative Reset

The draft covers code point 2.

I believe the draft should cover both administrative sub-codes.  It also
permits two slightly different work flows:

run clear bgp neighbor 192.0.2.1 reason "You have a bgp wedgie and I'm trying to clear it"

set protocols bgp group external neighbor 192.0.2.1 shutdown reason "De-peered with prejudice"

The first allows a reset reason to be passed along that may be transient.

The second permits a reason to persist in subsequent attempts when that BGP
speaker tries to re-connect.

Beyond the above point, I find the document to be of good quality.
