In an attempt to return to an argument, rather than simple contradiction (ok, ok, it's far more polite and reasonable so far than that would imply, but I couldn't miss the cheap shot; apologies hereby tendered), perhaps we should consider *what* the RFC should say, if it should be changed? Going to the WG with a proposal in hand and a rationale to support it would seem to be the best path.
One problem which makes the current practice worse in practice is the cycling of the BGP session. Once you decide a BGP peer is "insane" why start a fresh BGP session with the same peer, only to have them send the same "bad" information again, and again, and again, and again. If folks want to isolate misbehaving peers, do an ADMIN SHUTDOWN on the session.
