I'm curious to know if this is after-the-fact, as I can't think of a way that BGP would find hostnames to setup sessions with, outside of some kind of upper layer name resolution capability.
The draft isn't clear on how this happens, if it is, indeed, before-the-fact.
I'm not sure I understand what the option space is. This is like ISIS TLV137, protocol will populate some trash there and you'll politely access. It won't allow you to refer to the peer with any name prior to having the session up. Much like you won't see ISIS neighbours name when session is establishing, until it has actually loaded and processed the TLV137. -- ++ytti
