just checking. The RIB, in my parlance, contains the information that 
neighboring routers have sent to me; of that, I take a subset and build a FIB.

If something is not in my FIB, it is because someone wrote a policy that 
says I should not use it or should select other information as a matter of 
preference. If the policy is that I should not select or should not use 
certain information for routing, why would I use it for validation?

of course I would be happy to discuss, and I'd be happy to receive your 
proposed text changes.
