COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the useful and easy to follow spec. I have a few questions and
comments below, I hope some of them are helpful.

1. In §5 you write,

                       The longest match is done the same way as for
   routing:

I might prefer “… same way as for packet forwarding“. It isn’t a big deal,
though.

2. In §5.1 you write,

   The latter is chosen by the client given the longest match.

I suggest “because it is” instead of “given“. (Similar in §5.2)

3. In §5.3 you write,

                                                              The array
   always contains two AS numbers represented in decimal format

Don’t you mean, “each array element always contains…“? Also, it appears what it
really contains is two ASNs *separated by a hyphen*.

4. Again with respect to §5.3, is there no need for most-specific match
semantics for ASNs? I’m imagining that presented with the choices of a larger
or smaller range to match a given query, the smallest matching range would be
used. E.g., given a query of 65501 and two entries, one for 65500-65535 and
another for 65501-65501, the latter would be chosen. No?

5. In §6 you mention a “fully referenced URL”. Do you mean “fully-qualified “?
