Document: draft-ietf-idr-as0-05.txt
Reviewer: Elwyn Davies
Review Date: 22 August 2012
IETF LC End Date: 22 August 2012
IESG Telechat date: (if known) - 

Summary:
Almost ready. 

Major issues:
None.

Minor issues:
s1, para 2:
>    [RFC6491] specifies that AS number zero in a ROA is used to mark an
>    NLRI which is to be marked as Invalid.
This is not what s4 of RFC 6491 says although ultimately this is
(probably) the way in which it is intended to be used.  RFC 6491 just says
that an 'AS 0 ROA' is used to mark a prefix and all its more specific
prefixes as not to be used in a routing context.

s1, para 4:
>    As at least two implementations discard routes containing AS 0, and
>    to allow approaches such as the above, this document codifies this
>    behavior.
This sentence is not entirely clear as to what behavior is being codified.
It could be just discarding routes with AS 0 or the the use of AS 0 to mark
prefixes that shouldn't be routed.  Please make this easier to parse.  This
is partly because of the over interpretation of RFC 6491 mentioned in the
previous comment.

Nits/editorial comments:
Abstract: Acronym BGP needs expanding.
s1: Acronyms ROA, AS and NLRI need expanding.
s2: It would be worth reinforcing that the behaviors being modified here are
currently specified in RFC 4271.  Arguably relevant section numbers would
help.
s4: Acronym RPKI needs expanding.
s4, para 2:
> security gotchas often lurk in the undefined spaces
This is slang and cliche that may be difficult for non-US speakers to
understand.
