I support this document as worthwhile for WG adoption. However I do have some comments.
The first comment is that, while I agree with the conclusions of the document in general, I don't entirely see what operational problems are caused by single-ASN anycast deployments. It certainly seems more convenient to have unique ASNs for each node, but I can't imagine a concrete need. This is probably due to my lack of imagination and/or experience with the problems the authors have encountered, so I'd suggest the draft expands on this topic. My second comment is that the document should acknowledge the case where a common ASN is desirable. For instance, information "hiding" might be a desired benefit of using a single ASN for all nodes. Obviously the draft should recommend the approach with the most benefit, having enumerated the pros and cons. But it should acknowledge the cons of multiple ASNs (aka the pros of single ASN) as well.
