When a draft specifies one of the list types, should it also specify the=20
type of the list elements and the expected semantics?

Else we could have non-interoperable implementations exporting the same=20
"IANA standard" information element, where one is a "basicList of X"=20
while another is a "basicList of Y".
ie, although the IE is the same, the basicList Field ID and semantics=20
are different. See RFC 6313, Figure 1.)

eg, the BGP community draft referenced below creates a new=20
bgpSourceCommunityList. I suppose this may be a list of=20
bgpSourceAsNumber, but that's not specified in the draft - so it could=20
equally be a list of sourceIPv4Address or any other IE.

Alternatively, devices could simply export IE #291 (basicList), with the=20
bgpSourceCommunityList and bgpDestinationCommunityList disambiguated by=20
the basicList Field ID contained in the basicList header. However that=20
would be horrendous for collectors...
