This is done to simplify the design and implementation of BGP and to make the semantics of the originator of a route more clear.  This will also simplify the design, implementation, and deployment of ongoing work in the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group.  This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.",
