Section 3 says:
  In this document, we define the following new flag: 
 
  Node-id: 0x20 

There seems to be no registry for this flag space, and backtracking
to RFC 4090 and 3209 suggests that there are lots of flag valuess in 
RSVP-TE with no registry. There's surely a risk of mistakes as a result.

There are boilerplate nits that the RFC Editor will catch.

The document says:

	 A node MUST use 
        the same address consistently. Once an address is used in RRO's 
        IPv4 or IPv6 subobject, it SHOULD always be used for the 
        lifetime of the LSP. 

This MUST doesn't seem like an RFC 2119 MUST; it seems like operational
advice.  It is also not entirely clear what the scope of consistency is.
Clearly it my have both v4 anv v6 addresses; may it use different node-ids
for the different address families?  Or is this intended to apply only
for the lifetime of an LSP?
