Independently of that, I think that trying to maintain a session in
the face of multiple errors is a clear waste of time and effort on
all parties. At some point, there is more effort and complexity
spent on error recovery than on correct transmission, and that's just
backwards. I support the suggestion of binary exponential back off
on session restarts.

I would highly agree that the notion to keep the session at all cost is
just a wrong thing to do.
Such notion comes often from the fact that operator did not provided
path redundancy or are trigger by seemingly correct observation that
single malformed update should not impact other correct updates received
over the same session.
However neither the error handling IDR spec nor it's early
implementations provide a way to still allow the reset to happen if X %
of UPDATE messages in the window of time T sec are malformed.
Perhaps Rob's document as set of requirements could add such requirement
to the spec ?

R.
