Document: draft-ietf-pce-pcep-domain-sequence
    Standard Representation of Domain-Sequence

Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as an experimental RFC.

Major issues:


    Given that Exclude Route Objects are not interleaved with include 


Objects, is there a restriction that Area IDs may only be excluded from 


paths within a single AS?




Minor issues:


    It seems a bit odd for an Experimental RFC to use "Standard" in its 


title.  As one possible solution, in parallel with the naming of the 


related TEAS draft, this could be "Domain Subobjects for Path 


Computation Engine Protocol."






    The procedure for updating AS number scope when observing an IP 


address at a PCE processing an IRO seems fragile as described.  Many of 


the real-time mechanisms for this are error prone.  I would recommend 


that a note be added that this construct be avoided in building IROs 


whenever possible.
