IMO this is too broad. I would say that such ingress filtering could/should
happen only if dst or locator is within locally  configured/allocated
prefixes. Otherwise it is pure IPv6 transit and I see no harm not to allow
it.

Again the way I read it this kills pure IPv6 transit for SRv6 packets. Why
?

(Well I know the answer to "why" from our endless discussions about SRv6
itself and network programming however I still see no need to mandate in
any spec to treat SRv6 packets as unwanted/forbidden for pure IPv6 transit.)

Thx,
R.
