Wes covered most of the points I would raise - missing security
considerations in particular.  Basically, if you filter using IRR and the
IRR has issues (perhaps maliciously induced), you'll have routing issues.
The entire first part of the document does very well at outlining where the
issues are and some of the paths for fixing them.

The snippy bit of me wants there to be comments that a lot of the
operational issues identified (e.g. "soft reconfig") are mostly one major
vendor's issue, but I think it's enough to simply say "these were the sins
of the past and no need to name names".  (There is plenty of sin to go
around.)

In general, once the security considerations are addressed, this makes a
fine Informational document and I think it's ready to go.  What's
frustrating is that the state of the art hasn't changed much since I was
doing IRR related work in 2000.
