… If you had written this slightly differently, I wouldn’t have had quite the 
same reaction. Specifically, if you had supplied the reference immediately 
after “Segment Routing,” as in,

I wouldn’t have had the same “but that isn’t what RFC 8402 says at all“ 
response.

I suggest that change as a minimum edit. I continue to prefer my original 
suggestion of simply deleting the sentence, though, since it doesn’t seem to 
add anything to the specification. [1]
