The outstanding issues remain.

Minimally, the work I have promised (and am delinquent on) is to send diffs to 
help the draft be more clear in a RFC-4271 sense as to what is being sent.  
This at least removes the ambiguity of the current text.

With regard to actual resolution of active vs. "bgp best", I suspect that we'll 
end up with the draft covering one thing and implementations perhaps choosing 
which of the two options to send.  Noting this in a TLV for the peer-up message 
would be one possible way to encode this.

I intend to spend some time resolving open IETF work next week after the U.S. 
Memorial Day holiday.

P.S. I don't know that I've made this point before, but a flavor of this 
conversation had happened during standardization of the BGP MIB.
