This was exactly the position I started from when I first read the
draft... like isn't there an implicit agreement in BGP typically backed 
up by currency changing hands?  

Then I consider why have I invested so much in automation / RPSL tooling
and have routers with 300-500k lines of config?  Because that "agreement"
isn't strong enough to stop misconfigurations that are easily preventable
if we can describe the intended state out of band.  Today that's largely
the IRR + peeringDB ecosystem, but we can do better. 

I support adoption of this draft.
