Subject: [IPTEL] TRIP Sequence Numbers

In section 10.1.4 of draft-ietf-iptel-trip-04.txt it states:

    When an LS first originates a route into its ITAD, it MUST originate
    it with a Sequence Number of MinSequenceNum.

Is the LS required to do this:
    a) when it restarts/reboots, or
    b) when the route is added to its Local-Route database

If (b) is allowed, the situation described in 10.1.6 (where an LS receives a
self-originated route with a seq# larger than what it currently has recorded
for the route) could be avoided. If either (a) or (b) is permitted, I think
section 10.1.4 should say something like "An LS MAY maintain Sequence
Numbers that are persistent across restarts/reboots".
