RFC2622 section 5
https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc2622/#section-5
gives valid examples such as "AS1:AS-CUSTOMERS, AS1:RS-EXPORT:AS2"
but section 5.1 states that AS-SETs have to start with "as-".
So maybe the word "ASN" in the text refers to a string such as "AS37181"
and not just the number by itself.
And even if not, likely what would need to be added in front would be
"AS" and not "AS-" ...
Not sure about item 3. of my comments - quoted above.
Sorry for confusion.
Frank
