Subject: AS Confed for BGP, rfc 3065

In RFC 3065, assignments of Member-AS no. is not discussed.
If it can have any valid value, it may result in wrong open 
message. This is when Member-AS number and neighbouring AS number 
is same.

Open message to a peer in neighouring AS(which is not part of 
confed but has the same AS number as one of the Member-AS) carries 
Member-AS number in place of Confederation ID.

Can anybody suggest something to avoid this.
