Gert, I get that. And I am not asking to add specific prescription for automagic.
However if I am reading this RFC as a vendor or as an operator I would find useful to have a section recommending a way in which I can use it a bit more directly then match in the policy. In fact to the best of my knowledge today bgp implementations do not have a clear way to enable multipath selectively (say only on some prefixes marked as anycast) in a given routing context. That was my point here. Cheers, R.
