Not really.

For this scenario having a SHOULD is okay, but it would then be helpful to 
describe the exact conditions when that SHOULD isn't effectively a MUST.  But 
personally, I would find it clearer if the constraint was something like MUST 
be the same as TLV 134 when TLV 134 is also advertised.

But I will let Alvaro carry the Discuss.  I.e., if you get agreement from him 
(as a RTG AD) then that will be sufficient for me as well.

Yes, they look fine, thanks.

Perhaps it is a difference in interpretation between UK vs US English.  As I 
said in my comment, I naturally read that sentence to mean that there is 
current discussion occurring somewhere (e.g., in a WG), not that the document 
is describing two methods.  I would find this clearer as "Two methods for 
determining inter-AS paths are supported: The per-domain ...", or something 
similar.  But all my ballot comments are just comments are hence you are free 
to ignore it if you wish.

Thanks,
Rob
