My comments have been addressed, but I have some questions about the 
way one of them was addressed:

Is the MP_REACH_NLRI encoded with or without the attribute flags and 
type code?

Don't the values of MP_REACH_NLRI's "Length of Next Hop Network 
Address" and "Network Address of Next Hop" change with each hop, making 
it infeasible for remote ASes to verify the origin's signature?

MP_REACH_NLRI has a reserved field that "MUST be set to 0, and SHOULD 
be ignored upon receipt". If a BGPsec speaker receives an update where 
reserved is non-zero, what should it do? With the current text, I could 
interpret "SHOULD be ignored upon receipt" as meaning either "calculate 
the signature using the reserved field as received" or "calculate the 
signature using all zeroes in place of the reserved field".
