Since S-BGP overloads signatures into the current packet formats, destroys 
packing, and destroys peer groups, I'm not certain that you can make the 
claim that S-BGP has a "lower impact" on BGP than soBGP does. In fact, to 
the contrary, you might have noticed that the transport draft is set up all 
on its own, specifically so any other transport could be substituted.

If someone wants to deploy some other transport, and there's community 
interest in doing so, then soBGP could be done without touching BGP at all.
