COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the clarifications!!   I have just a couple of comments:

(1) §3: "...the router SHOULD use the AS of the router's BGP configuration". 
If not ambiguous, when would it be ok to not use the ASN from the local
configuration?  IOW, why SHOULD and not MUST?

(2) §1: s/the origin validation state of the is set to as NotFound/the origin
validation state is set to NotFound

(3) [nit] The language in the Introduction is very tentative for a Standards
Track document.  For example: "This document attempts to clarify...The
implementation issues seem not to be about how to validate...The issues seem to
be ..."  Either this document clarifies or it doesn't; IOW, this is not an
attempt at clarification.  Also, I'm sure the issues are known.
