Both of the routing ADs complained about the text in this section.   I do not 
actually clearly understand their complaints, but after discussing it with Alia 
(who did not raise a DISCUSS, but was happy to talk with me about it) and with 
Adrian (who really feels quite discouraged about the whole conversation), the 
understanding I came away with was that they felt that the document as written 
was quite open-ended and left available the possibility of doing some things 
that are Not A Good Idea.

As a routing non-expert, I have no way to evaluate this.   I don't know what 
the working group wants, and I don't know why the routing ADs are concerned 
about it.   So when I have a routing AD spend months trying to get the text 
right, and then get upset when it's changed and move to abstain on the 
document, my only recourse is to either put my fingers in my ears and hum a 
tune whilst pretending not to hear, or to ask the working group for help.

I have a lot of respect for the routing ADs, and don't want to just ignore 
them, so I chose the latter.   There's a lot of knowledge about routing in the 
working group, and my hope is that in watching you discuss this question, I can 
come to a better understanding of what to do.   I realize this is a pain in the 
neck, and I apologize for it--I wish I had a better understanding of the issues 
so that I could just propose a solution.
