I don't see a need for point 1. Point 2 is a subset of 6. Point 3 is really
introductory text as to why 1 is irrelevant. Maybe 4 & 5 should be combined
as 'pre-existing IPv4 multi-homing' is one way to demonstrate compliance. A
better way to handle 7 would be to define 6 in terms of multi-party BGP
peering points.
