1. The part about RFC2860 in Section 1 seems like an incomplete thought, at 
the very least it seems awkward to me.  I'm really not sure what you are 
intending to say.  But, I agree RFC2860 is relevant to the discussion.  I'm 
just not sure you have nailed what to say about it.

I suspect it might be a bit hard for Russ to take action on this point without 
a bit more info as to what you feel is awkward or what's missing.

2. I really like the idea of creating a "Special-Purpose AS Number Registry". 
 However, it may be a better idea to spin-off the creation of a 
"Special-Purpose AS Number Registry" into a separate draft.  I'm concerned 
that trying to do two important things in the same document will fail to 
achieve one or both of the important things. 

While I don't oppose splitting the docs, I'm not sure it's necessary as I don't 
believe there's anything controversial in Russ's draft. What do you foresee as 
blocking the document or causing it to fail in either of its goals?

For instance the simple section 3 you have currently worries me.  I'd really 
think RFC6890 is the template to use for creating a "Special-Purpose AS 
Number Registry", more below.

Seem's a bit of overkill to me (I like short documents).
