Thanks to Matt for an impressive amount of work.

I encourage the working group to look at this draft right away.

This will be a major focus of our interim meeting on 29 Sep.

I have submitted an -05 version of the BGPSEC protocol specification.

This includes changes that we discussed at the meeting in Vancouver
(including clarity on duplicate updates, as well as clarity that
confederations MAY choose not to verify signatures from other members of
the confederation).

Additionally, I fleshed out the algorithm in Section 4.4 for converting
from a BGPSEC_Path_Signatures attribute to an AS_PATH attribute. (And in
general improved the text on how information in the
BGPSEC_Path_Signatures attribute should be used in place of AS_PATH
information whenever AS_PATH information is required.)

Finally, I fixed a bug in the confederation solution (Section 4.3) that
was discussed on the SIDR list shortly after the Vancouver meeting. The
confederation solution now better mirrors the way confederations are
handled in BGP-4 (non-BGPSEC).

Oh, and I fixed a couple of stupid typos in the Bibliography, I am sure
there are still a few other such typos sitting around in various
sections, but I believe all of the outstanding technical issues have
been addressed.
