some friends and i were talking about recent routing cfs, and found we needed a clearer taxonomy. i throw this out.
leak - i receive P and send it on to folk to whom i should not send it for business reasons (transit, peer, ...)
mis-origination - i originate P when i do not own it
hijack - an intentional mis-origination
7007 - i receive P (or some sub/superset), process it in some way (likely through my igp), and re-originate it, or part of it, as my own
