Comments
I just did an AD review with a number of issues, so you may find it helpful to wait for an updated
draft if it comes quickly.  Regardless, having a second solid review would be very helpful.
For me, this review took a long time & turned into scanning through many of the related SPRING documents.

Status: Almost-ready: Minor concerns on error reporting additions.

General Comment:  One of the things which must have been worked on by 3
implementations is  the error reporting for overlapping prefixes or an
erroneous TLV.  I simply could not find it.  As an OPS-DIR review, I look for
clearly specified error reporting for protocol errors and provisioning errors. 
If it is another document, the authors could simply reference it.  If it is not
there, please summarize what the implementers have done already.  No need to
change working code, but documenting this will help a new implementation
provide the same error reporting.

I have given general guidance here, and will review the specifics that the main
editors suggest.  However, it really needs to be addressed in the specification
so new implementation may provide this in put.

Editorial nits:

1)      Page 5 – please provide RI abbreviation so that page 6 and can utilize
it.

In last paragraph:

Before:

/SR-Algorithm TLV in the  Router Information LSA with/

To:

/SR-Algorithm TLV in the  Router Information (RI) LSA with/

2)      Page 15 – paragraph  starting with “When the M-Flag is set, the NP-Flag
and the E-Flag”

     The text jumps and does nor provide a link to the next paragraph.  I
     suspect you want to smooth this out.

3)      Page 19, the reference back to section 4 – is accurate, but not easily
understood based on section 4’s comments.
