Hi Huaimo,
thank you for the expedient response. Please find my follow-up notes
in-lined below under the GIM>> tag.

GIM>> I find it hard to quantify your characterization. I imagine that if
an operator uses the protection mechanism defined in
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths it designs the network
with that in mind and thus minimizes if not completely avoids any possible
limitation the protection mechanism may have. Perhaps you can help with
some more specific scenarios.

GIM>> Though BSID may be used inside the network, I find such use case
questionable making no significant impact on the usefulness of the
protection mechanism.

GIM>> I consider that property of the protection defined in
draft-ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths as a benefit that allows
better control for the proper coordination between protection mechanisms
that operate on different network layers.

GIM>> I agree with you, drafts are fundamentally different and, in my
opinion, merging them would not change the situation. But I don't see that
as the justification for producing two standards. It seems to me, releasing
two standard-based specifications might be detrimental and I propose the
authors consider taking this draft onto the experimental track. I'd support
the adoption of it as the experimental track document.
