How an optional attribute replace well-known mandatory one ?

Sorry but for such step formal IDR WG approval is necessary if you 
choose to propose BGPSEC_Path_Signatures as mandatory attribute. This is 
major BGP protocol change.

Documentation of partial deployment is required as well as two 
interoperable implementations ;).

RFC4271:

5.1.2.  AS_PATH

    AS_PATH is a well-known mandatory attribute.  This attribute
    identifies the autonomous systems through which routing information
    carried in this UPDATE message has passed.  The components of this
    list can be AS_SETs or AS_SEQUENCEs.


draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol-02.txt

    This document specifies a new optional (non-transitive) BGP path
    attribute, BGPSEC_Path_Signatures.


Best regards,
R.
