RFC 4271 and RFC 5065 specify using the term ‘Segment’ to denote AS_SEQUENCE, AS_SET, AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE, or AS_CONFED_SET. The ASPA verification draft v-09 currently deviates from that and uses ‘Segment’ to refer to an AS in an AS_SEQUENCE and also to refer to an AS_SET.
Is such non-standard use objectionable or unadvisable? If affirmative, then possible fixes are: (1) remove any AS_SET from the AS_PATH for algorithm purposes only and then simply use AS(i) to refer to the i-th AS in the AS_SEQUENCE(s) (with a slight additional tweak in the algorithm), or (2) use an alternate term like element or component.
