Akira Kato and I had a draft out on how this could be done
and had working, inter-operable implementations (zebra, cisco)
in two locations, NSPIXP3 and LAIIX. The IDR wg chose another
method and so this technique is not likely to be widely
endorsed as an IETF approved method. It is still supported in
the code and some folks still use it.
