- 6.1 says the router IDs SHOULD NOT be zero but I don't
get when it'd be ok for zero to be used (just asking as
its always good to say when going against a SHOULD NOT
is fine).

- I wondered if the combination of exporting routing
information up, down and sideways, and dealing with
not-quite overlapping ASON and OSPF hierarchical
concepts might increase the probability of error here to
the point where this draft ought say something about
that. I don't know the answer, just asking.

- Is the definition of looping in 7.2 appropriate? Why
are only ASON-specific loops considered? Why not
consider anything that causes a routing loop,
regardless?

- 7.2.1, 2nd last para, should that "must" be a "MUST"
in "The RA ID value must be a unique identifier for the
RA within the ASON routing domain."

- I was surprised not to see the string "ASON" in any of
the TLV names defined here.

- Section 9, 2nd para: How can message authentication
improve security against passive attacks? Seems plain
wrong. Adding crypto for integrity/authenticaiton is
purely to prevent/detect active attacks. My suggestion
is to do s/secure against passive attacks and// 

- Section 9, 3rd para: Signatures do not by themselves
provide stronger security than MACs. That all depends on
key management and specific algorithms. I'd argue to
just delete that paragraph.

This is a well written document.

Since the security of this mechanism is fundamentally associated with the security of OSPF, an informational reference to draft-ietf-karp-ospf-analysis would seem useful to the reader.
