some friends and i were talking about recent routing cfs, and found we
needed a clearer taxonomy.  i throw this out.

leak - i receive P and send it on to folk to whom i should not send
       it for business reasons (transit, peer, ...)

mis-origination - i originate P when i do not own it

hijack - an intentional mis-origination

7007 - i receive P (or some sub/superset), process it in some way
       (likely through my igp), and re-originate it, or part of it,
       as my own

we need a name for 7007 other then vinnie
So 7007 (laundering) might be (or not) a subset of a hijack which is a
subset of mis-origination.
What's the tree for a leak? I think a more structured approach is
necessary if we are to delve on
both technical definitions and intent.
