That's is even better. So agreed with referencing that rfc.

While the general recommendation is valid, I'm not seeing why it is
particularily relevant to this draft - whether or not a neighbouring
BGP session is using a well-defined or privately-agreed code point to
signal BGP black holing makes no difference wrt to attacking the local
TCP session...  (assuming that the "privately-agreed" code point is
in fact publicly documented in an IRRdb, which they usually are).

Adding a general reference to BGP security best practices won't hurt,
of course - 7454 comes to mind (which among others recommends GTSM).
