Follow-up question: without section 3.4 - would you still object?

I don't think that IXPs should be mentioned anywhere in this document.
For the general case of blackholing, an IXP is a clearing house so
should not get involved in the business of dropping its participants'
traffic. In the case of route servers, blackholing turns the IXP into
a legal target.

I feel that this is not the appropiate forum to define what IXPs can,
can't, should and shouldn't in context of legal enforcement agencies.

Kind regards,

Job
