So... we can send the data along, but in the case of BGPSEC speakers
the data isn't used (it's replicated in the BGPSEC_SIGNED_PATH).
Carrying extra bits isn't actually helpful is it? (the implementers
drove the design decision here I believe)

is it helpful for the folks that write bgp code though? "Hey, you will
need to re-synthesize the as-path at sec->non-sec boundaries. you need
to also create sec-path at none->sec boundaries."
