not sure if this comment is in time, but the text contains:

As far as I understand, this protocol is not widely deployed in IXPs, 
nor is it widely tested in inter-AS production environments. It would be 
concerning if an untested protocol were mandated as a production 
requirement in a RIR addressing policy document.

Before continuing down this path, could the authors provide information 
on how this protocol works in production environments?
