Hi Victor,
        I was just going through the 3588-bis-06 in 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis-06.txt
         The following statement looks bit contradictory 
2.9.  Diameter Path Authorization
....
....
....
   Similarly, the local Diameter agent, on receiving a Diameter response
   authorizing a session, MUST check the Route-Record AVPs to make sure
   that the route traversed by the response is acceptable.  At each
   step, forwarding of an authorization response is considered evidence
   of a willingness to take on financial risk relative to the session.
   A local realm may wish to limit this exposure, for example, by

The RFC says Route-Record AVP can be "0" for all response message except
ACA in section 
"10.1.  Base Protocol Command AVP Table" 
 
please clear me on this issue.

Thanks & Regards
