Godswill,

Do you have a link that would support that conclusion? I have always taken
local-as to restrict advertisement to within a single confederation sub-AS.
No export would still let the route be sent to all sub-ASes in the
confederation, but not to any eBGP peers outside the confederation.

Granted confederations are often implemented using private AS numbers, but
I'm not aware of anything that ties the use of local-as to a private AS
number per se.
