The current taxonomy draft seem to occasionally drift into being a
recommendations document.
At one point it says that an AS "should be able to aggregate". Later on it
states that an AS "should aggregate" information which is not aggregated in
current practice.
The current document (without these recommendations) seems to be a very
useful guide to getting more information out of the data collection that is
going on, and providing for a common understanding of the data. I believe
that recommendations for future behavior would be best served by capturing
them in some other document.
Yours,

PS: The document occasionally talk about different information flowing
between peers vs customers vs transits. While such distinctions are
meaningful in many contexts, it does not appear to help this document
noticeably.
