We authors think MUST is better than SHOULD.

And we would like to update section 3.1 saying:

"This document describes responses in the JSON [RFC7159] format.  JSON members 
that are not defined here MUST not be used in SLURM Files and additional 
top-level members MUST be defined in RFCs that update this document. Relying 
parties MUST ignore unrecognized JSON members at the top level, while any 
deviations from the specification at lower levels MUST be considered an error.”

Here is the consideration: 
The current document describes local exceptions with regards to ROAs and Router 
Certificates, which are significant to local control of routing.  The thought 
here was that we would leave an option for future other ’top-level’ elements to 
describe local exceptions with regards to other (future) RPKI objects as long 
as they have fundamental effect in routing control , while maintaining backward 
compatibility. But this is not explicit in the document as written. The risk 
here, as written, is that implementations can just add stuff at will for their 
own purpose and we can end up with the same member name being re-used.

Yes. 

You are making sense here.

Agreed. 

We are going to add:

"Yet the mechanism to update SLURM file to guarantee authentication and 
integrity is out of  the scope of this document. "

Besides, we need to change ‘source’ to ‘sources’ :-)

Agreed.

Agreed.

We authors are going to change 4.1 and 4.2 to say “Locally Added Assertions” 
because we refer to the elements.

The lower case “locally adding assertions” in 3.2 is fine, because it describes 
an action.

Agreed.
