Thanks for the draft.

Minimally, I think the draft is "mostly harmless!" (with no offense to the 
idea).  An advisory community that may help operators shape policy for the 
documented scenarios might be helpful.

I think my major questions for the draft overlap whether an operator has any 
particular reason to trust the marking to be used to influence their policy.  
For example, if a /24 marked with the anycast community would bypass your TE 
and stick to shortest IGP distance, what's the likelihood that someone would 
intentionally mis-mark routes for this behavior?  If we get to the point where 
this needs a prefix-list to decide what routes you'd trust, especially given 
the advice about no-export, does the community actually help the operator?
