Unfortunately, you are incorrect here, I never made that proposal. I presented 
various options we might choose to share commonality, none of them had to do 
with sharing top-level code-points, all of them had to do strictly with the 
content of the FAD [sub-]TLV which is being entirely defined by the document in 
question.

I'm talking about the content of the FAD [sub-]TLV only, just like IGP 
Algorithm registry is defining the content for the SR Algorithm [sub-]TLV, they 
are completely analogous.

This is silly, perhaps not intended but it's very close to a straw man. I know 
I wrote in an early mail explicitly that my intent had nothing to do with back 
over anything, so no.

Thanks,
