Appendix A says:

    The most notable change from [1] is that of reversing the values
    AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE(4) and AS_CONFED_SET(3) to those defined in
    section "AS_CONFED Segment Type Extension".  The reasoning for this
    is that in the initial implementation, which was already widely
    deployed, they were implemented backwards from [4], and as such,
    subsequent implementations implemented them backwards as well.  In
    order to foster interoperability and compliance with deployed
    implementations, they've therefore been changed here as well.

Notes:

Sorry for mistype error in my previous message.
There is a mistype error in line 1 of Appendix A (RFC 3065). reference
to document [1] is wrong and must be changed to [4].
