Will,

What is "this" in your question?  If it partially filled RRO, we
determined it not occur except for certain conditions that are
entirely a matter of network design (such as interarea).  We also
concluded that even if the RRO was partially filled, the path-tear and
notify (if used) would handle tear down and initiate reroute.

Please be more specific in your question, if I haven't answered it.

Curtis
