Hi, Les:
I remembered we have discussed your proposal. If you ignored, let me repeat its 
drawbacks:

Don’t you think it is curious to construct the bogus information within the 
network, just want to let the operator conform their deployment with the 
non-aimed application scenarios of one RFC?
The bogus information is not only AS, but also the remote ASBR Identifier.

And I think such scenarios are popular within any operator’s network.
